Graduate Student Posters

graduate students share their research through a mixture of text and graphics on a physical poster. During the session, presenters discuss their work with conference attendees. In sharing their research with conference attendees, graduate student presenters have the opportunity to receive valuable feedback from advanced scholars in a supportive and low-pressure environment.
