Poster Session
The Poster Session showcased student research on pressing water issues from a variety of disciplines. Posters were be on display throughout the day of the symposium and were judged by water professionals, including professionals from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, US Envionmental Protection Agency, and the USGS.
