ASPA offers an opportunity for undergraduate psychology majors and graduate students in school psychology to present their scholarship before a professional audience. The Annual Student Poster Session is designed to allow students to enhance their skills in writing, presentation, and scholarship. The session is also designed as a vehicle for disseminating professional ideas. Another benefit of this activity is to allow students to learn more about the profession of school psychology. Finally, the Annual Student Poster Session facilitates associations between students, school psychologists and/or university professors. Each year our students are offered opportunities to present research at the Annual Fall Conference.
