Research Office/Joint PhD Poster Session
March 13, 2015 - 12:00pm to 1:30pm
The purpose of the Poster Session is for SSW faculty and Doctoral Students to engage in scholarly exchange and to learn more about each other's work.
As we have done in the past, the Research Poster Session will coincide with the doctoral student recruitment weekend. Our hope is that having the Research Poster Session at this time will demonstrate to the newly admitted students the wide variety of research being conducted at the University of Michigan, School of Social Work. This informal venue also provides another opportunity to speak with these students to help them decide if the University of Michigan is the right place for them.
