Education Support Services/Posters

The Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics (FIP) is supportive in providing assistance for all FIP members, in as many areas as possible, to support their research and education. Currently, we provide FIP Friday Breakfasts allowing students, postdocs and faculty the chance to collaborate and discuss their projects with one another informally. Another service that we provide is free poster printing for all FIP members.
 

Free Education Posters to FIP Members

Poster printingThe Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics (FIP) offers services to all FIP faculty and students of poster printing for educational purposes at no charge. 

FIP has worked out an agreement with PhDPosters.com to have them charge our FIP group account to print posters for the FIP faculty and students. In most cases, PhDPosters should be able to print a poster within 1-3 business days. There are exceptions during preparation for the Annual FIP Symposium when all FIP members will be notified of printing deadlines at that time. 

FIP members are allowed to print 1 poster per semester.

Requirements:

Posters can ONLY be printed in Adobe (.pdf) format or Powerpoint (.ppt)
Adobe is preferred.

Posters MUST be 48"x42" or less.
