Faculty and departments may do either or both (preferred) of the opportunities provided to disseminate information about their projects. In the videos (4–5-minute videos) or posters (30 x 40 inches) or both you must provide a program description that includes: (a) the need being addressed, (b) the goals of the program, (c) the target audience or demographic served, (d) timelines, (e) project outcomes and (f) any partners, sponsors or collaborators that need to be recognized. The keynote address and departmental project videos and highlights will begin at 6:30 p.m. in Newbold Auditorium, Buller Hall. This will be preceded by a Reception and Poster Session starting at 6 p.m. in the Buller hallways. If you have questions about creating videos or posters, please contact <a href="mailto:research@andrews.edu" target="_blank">research@andrews.edu</a>. Assistance with poster templates and video production is available upon request. Project descriptions for both the videos and posters should be submitted by Sept. 15, 2023, to be featured in this year’s program. A few presenters may be invited to give brief presentations of project highlights during the program. The videos should be submitted by Oct. 6, 2023. The printed posters should be brought to Buller Hall by 5:30 p.m. on the day of the event.  We hope to share these videos and posters online as we did in <a href="https://www.andrews.edu/services/research/communityengagement/index.html" target="_blank">2019</a>. To do so, we must ensure that we meet some basic requirements. <ol> <li> All music used in your productions must be licensed or have formal approval for distribution.</li> <li> All individuals featured in the videos, whether in clips or images, must grant permission to use their likeness for public presentation.
