Student Day

The Office of University Programs is hosting a Student Day on March 18, 2008, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Renaissance Hotel for invited undergraduate and graduate students of the DHS network.  A poster session and reception will be from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. Student Day is intended to foster networking and continued interest in homeland security fields while highlighting the successes of DHS sponsored students. 

Students that were successful in the abstracts competition for the 2nd Annual DHS University Network Summit poster session will be in attendance.  All other participants of the DHS Student and Alumni Network are also invited and encouraged to attend at their expense. 

Student Day provides an opportunity for DHS sponsored students to make presentations on their research; hear from an insightful panel of DHS, federal, and national laboratory employees on employment; receive the latest news from the Student and Alumni Network; and network with other students and Center of Excellence directors.   

The poster session and reception will be held from 5:00-6:30 p.m. in the foyer of the Renaissance Ballroom.  Students will be available to discuss their research and judging for the three best posters will be done at this time.  All are invited and welcome to attend the student poster session and reception.  This is a wonderful time to show your support for the students and their work.

The winners of the poster competition will be announced at the 2nd Annual DHS University Network Summit on March 19.
