# Public Health Research Day Public Health Research Day, held annually by the Graduate Program in Public Health, is a required event for all Master-level students. All graduating students are required to present posters during the Public Health Research Day. The Public Health Research Day Committee will select the top-ranked abstracts for oral presentations, and each will receive a Blue Ribbon Award with an honorarium. All other students are required to attend the day’s events. In addition to the annual poster session, the event includes a keynote lecture, oral presentations, and a networking reception. This is an excellent opportunity for networking among students, faculty, alumni, and community stakeholders, and to gain experience in presenting your work to an audience with diverse professional interests. All graduating students are encouraged to prepare in advance for Public Health Research Day. The abstract for Public Health Research Day will be due in early April, and the poster will be due in early May. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
