meetings. Contact us for more information. Each spring semester we hold a
one-day conference at University Park. Watch for information about our 2006 conference.
Noon to 1 p.m. Poster Session and lunch (posters will remain up through the
afternoon). Lunch will be provided (probably sandwiches, chips, and

bring it and share it with the group. The poster can be one that you presented
at a different conference or it could be an informal poster that you wrote for

a great opportunity for your students to gain experience presenting their
research--they can add it to their CV.
