Description

Div. 49 (The Society for Group Psychology and Group Psychotherapy) will have a special, supplemental program at the Div. 49 social hour during APA's 2020 convention on Aug. 6-9, in Washington, D.C. We are soliciting proposals for student posters with themes central to the promotion of cultural diversity and equity. Student Poster Awards will be given to the top three posters: cash prizes of $300, $200, and $100 for the first, second and third place, respectively.

The (first) author of the poster must be a student (or have completed the project while a student or intern) and must either be a student affiliate of Div. 49 or sponsored by a Div. 49 member.
