Each poster will be assess on scientific content, visual presentation and ease of comprehension, and the student’s oral presentation and discussion of their work. Our assessors are Dr. Sherilyn Houle, Dr. Cynthia Richard and Dr. Jamie Joseph.

This is great experience for our students and we’d love to see faculty and colleagues come out and support them.

Hope to see you there!
