This opportunity is open to any current graduate student in a counseling program. Each student included in the proposal must be present for the poster presentation. Students will present new and useful information in an area of counseling. Students may present on research or other projects that have been completed during their time as a graduate student. During the poster presentation slot, students will be present with their poster and answer any questions that attendees may have. Your work should be presented on a tri-fold board.  Students may also choose to bring handouts.
