Winter Poster Session 2021 
Thursday, February 25 

The Winter Poster Session provides a forum to showcase scholarly work from members of the SMU community. The poster presentations are an opportunity for us to share and learn more about each other’s scholarship in a supportive environment. 

The Winter Poster Session features presenters at various phases in their scholarship trajectory: Early Phase Collaboration, Scholarship in Progress, and Completed Scholarship. This event is co-hosted by the Office of Academic Affairs and the Faculty Development Committee.
