Student Poster Day
22nd Annual Student Poster Day
Friday, April 19, 2013
The 22nd Annual Student Poster Day at the School of Public Health will be held on Friday, April 19th from 10:00am to 1:00pm in the atrium of the Cancer Research Center, East Campus.
Student Poster Day is an opportunity for students to present on their graduate research projects or their required internships, which are an integral part of their academic experience at the School of Public Health. Both internships and the collaborative research between students and faculty exemplify the School of Public Health's commitment to practice-based research and education.
MPH students planning to graduate in May are required to present a poster at Student Poster Day to satisfy their internship requirement. Questions regarding this internship requirement should be directed to Katrina Chamberlain, Director of Internships and Career Services, at kchamberlain@albany.edu.
Students in other degree programs, such as MS and PhD, should check with their respective departments to determine whether or not they are required to participate in Student Poster Day.
Student posters will be reviewed by faculty judges for Excellence in Research and Honorable Mention awards.
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING ABSTRACTS IS MONDAY, MARCH 25, 2013 at 12:00 NOON.
