The academic year is now in full swing, and we want to see the works-in-progress of our student poster presentations! This display at Annual Meeting November 4-6th at University of Charleston will help students prepare for APhA Midyear Meeting and for full presentation at an upcoming WVPA Winter/Spring Meeting (TBD). Get feedback from experts in a comfortable environment to bring your poster project to the next level!
To minimize costs, digital posters will be allowed for presentation using a laptop/tablet along with 8 1/2″ x 11″ copies of poster sections.
What is a Poster Presentation?
WVPA student poster presentations provide the presenter with an opportunity to share
their research with other students and attendees through visual aids and a brief verbal
explanation of their content. Student presenters are able to answer questions about
their research and receive timely feedback on their posters.
