We will have 7 Poster Students at the convention this year. The names of 5 and the subject of the poster are now posted on ALA2012.com. More will be posted when received.

Over 5 posters. That is great. Last year there were 2 women who had a single entry, the year before only 3 student posters were put up. I look forward to talking to those students. It can be amazing what they have researched and discovered. I will be trying to capture information for the post-convention issue of the Livebearer, mostly for those who do not attend. The poster presentation is often one of my favorite parts of the convention.
