UMSTAR Poster Session

Dr. Young and Dr. Hagberg invite you to The School of Public Health's First Annual Poster Presentation for the University of Maryland Summer Training and Research Program (UMSTAR). Seven undergraduate students from all over the country, and right here at UMCP, spent 10 weeks in several of our labs at the School of Public Health engaged in intensive research. These students have been focusing on public health and cardiovascular health while tying in their own research background to make each of their projects relate to their interests. Please join us in celebrating the end of their 10 week journey and the culmination of their hard work. The poster presentation will be held in the atrium of the School of Public Health from 11:30am-1pm on Thursday, August 7th. Please save the date on your calendars and come out to support these future researchers!
