For the April 2017 BAPG meeting we are holding a student poster session. Fifteen posters were accepted from area colleges, with a wide variety of topics ranging from lava flow to snail biofilm. We are very excited about this special event and look forward to the posters and our members’ attendance. The students will be presenting their posters for 90 minutes before dinner and cash prize awards will be announced after dinner. As usual, a sit-down, buffet-style dinner is part of the evening.
The posters will be judged for multiple criteria by a board committee and three cash prizes will be awarded. One of the prizes will be a "members-favorite", so please be ready to review the posters and make sure you select your favorite!
