The Faculty Council invites you to participate in the school's twenty-third annual Poster and Exhibit Day. This event is an opportunity for the HSPH community to learn more about the exciting research and service activities being carried out at the school. This year presentations are sought from both laboratory and non-laboratory researchers in order to represent the various interests of the school. Types of presentations include, but are not limited to, posters, slide shows, videos, and small exhibits.

This year there will be a competition for two $500 awards -- one for the best poster or exhibit by a student, or by a team on which a student is the first author and presenter, and one for the best poster or exhibit by a postdoctoral fellow, or by a team on which a postdoctoral fellow is the first author and presenter -- as judged by the Faculty Council. (Please note that this award is taxable income which the recipient must report on his or her 2009 income tax return. A check will be made out to one individual who will be responsible for dividing the prize among the team.)

Refreshments will be provided.
