As of 2022, we will no longer be hosting live Plenary Talks during FVS. You will now have the option of doing either a 3-minute talk OR a 5-minute talk.
FVS is held virtually through Canvas. There will be an in-person kick-off event on Corvallis campus for students to view select 3-minute talks live and network with their peers and faculty.
No, you are not required to include your face. You can simply do a voiceover on the presentation.
You will interact with attendees by responding to comments left on your videos discussion board through out the event.
FVS will occur over a select time period (more information here) and you are expected to engage with your discussion board responding to any questions you may receive. Student presenters are also required to comment on their peers presentations as well.
You can find all the information on the Canvas page or by visiting the creating your pre-recorded talk page. You can email [email protected] with other questions.
You can talk about what you have done so far and what you are planning to do going forward as well as anticipated impacts. It is important to note that your project does not need to be complete to present your work. If you look at these pre-recorded talk examples, you can try to keep it in this general format.
You should be able to add the supplemental information as a comment. It might depend on the size. You can always let folks know you can email them more information.
We encourage students to make 3-minute or 5-minute pre-recorded talk and not to go above 3:30 or 5:30.

If you have time at the end, please include an acknowledgment slide. This is where you can thank your mentor(s) and highlight any special funding you received to complete this project.
