Undergraduate and Graduate Student Poster Contests
The Council of Affiliates (CoA) is the representative body of APHA that represents 53 affiliates: one for each state, one for Washington, DC and two in California and New York. The CoA is sponsoring two student poster sessions for undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled in public health-related coursework.

For the 2013 APHA annual meeting, the student poster contest will be comprised of two sessions of high-caliber abstracts.

Student posters accepted for exhibition at the annual meeting will be judged by a sub-committee of the CoA, and top winners will be selected and recognized.
