The primary purpose of the Page Proof Stage is to correct errors introduced during the submission process and the subsequent processing of your abstract. Minor spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors may also be fixed. It should NOT be considered appropriate to make major updates and editorial changes to your abstract. All corrections must be received no later than NOON on Tuesday April 10. We cannot guarantee that corrections received after that time will be incorporated because the STEM Symposium Committee has a variety of deadlines coming up, including a printer's deadline. As with last year's Symposium, a booklet listing abstract titles and authors will be made available at the Symposium. The full booklet, including abstract text, will only be available online. The contents of the full booklet will be used to generate the title and author booklets available at the Symposium. Corrections should be emailed to the STEM help address (rowanstem@gmail.com). Booklet corrections MUST be listed by line number. 2

Requests for individual sharing links to the page proof document will not receive a response. The tags are ordered by User ID numbers in the STEM Symposium database, so you will probably need to use a "Search" or "Find" command to locate your tag in the document. Users may submit corrections to rowanstem@gmail.com All corrections must be received no later than NOON on Tuesday April 10. We cannot guarantee that corrections received after that time will be incorporated because the STEM Symposium Committee will need some lead time to create the actual badges. PRESENTATION FORMAT INFORMATION Display boards are provided for each poster. Each board provides a space 4 ft wide x 8 ft high. Please note that this is a vertical portrait format, and is therefore different from the horizontal landscape format used at many meeting venues. Presenting students and their faculty sponsors are responsible for preparing and printing their own posters. The STEM Symposium Committee does not provide a poster printing service. The display boards are covered in felt but are not a tackable material. You should use adhesive velcro to hang your poster. Attach the scratchy side to your poster and the felt-covered display board will serve as the fuzzy side.
