The Annual MEZCOPH Public Health Poster Forum provides an opportunity for
students conducting public health research and community-based work to network with
other public health professionals from industry and regional and state governments. The
goal is to promote future collaborations such as employment and research partnerships
while offering students professional development opportunities in the planning of, and
participation in a professional conference. The student planning group invites keynote
speakers, develops promotional literature, maintains a website that provides guidance
for poster creation and participant registration, and produces a forum program which
includes abstracts. Students throughout the university are encouraged to present public
health related posters. Posters are judged, and scholarship prizes are awarded to the
best student posters.
