Virtual Student Poster Day

A student stands in front of his poster, which includes small text and lots of colorful graphs and charts. The student is smiling.

The School of Public Health's annual Student Poster Day draws more than 250 attendees from our community, including graduate students, faculty, staff, mentors, parents, and friends of the university. The day represents the hallmark of what makes the University at Albany a national leader in practice-based public health research and education. Student Poster Day presentations represent countless hours of collaboration between faculty advisors, graduate students, and internship mentors, involving research focusing on urgent, real-world public health issues and concerns.

 

This year, Poster Day was held fully online.

Following the event, an awards ceremony was held to recognize the hard work and achievements of public health students. Winners for the top presenters in Biomedical Sciences, Environmental Health Sciences, Epidemiology & Biostatistics, Health Policy & Management, Social Behavior & Community Health, and the Delta Omega Abstract Competition were announced.
