Poster

The poster session will take place Monday, November 14, at 4:30 pm.

Poster session goal

The goal is to create a diverse learning environment by engaging current pre-college program participants and alumni, undergraduate and graduate students, and faculty/administrative staff from across Michigan in one space that demonstrates a multi-tiered approach to mentorship and engaged learning in our communities.

Are you a pre-college program alumnus currently in post-secondary education? Did you create a final project, art, music, or research piece for your program that you would like to talk about? We invite you to highlight your project and pre-college program experiences at the 2016 Michigan Pre-College and Youth Outreach Conference. Join fellow pre-college participants, alumni, classmates, mentors, faculty, and staff from colleges and universities across Michigan as they come together to tell their pre-college program story.

Poster content

  • Pre-college program alumni
