Poster Projects by Rad Tech Students - Open to All
Submitted by Cindy Miller
We would like to invite all students, faculty, and staff to browse through student poster presentations for the Radiation Biology and Protection course (RAD 215). These Rad Tech students, who will participate in Commencement in May and graduate in August, will be presenting the posters as their final project for the course. The content of their posters ranges from Background Radiation - to Chernobyl and radiation effects of that nuclear power plant disaster - and many other radiation-based topics in between! It will have the feel of a Science Fair, where you can browse the topics and ask students questions as you wish. Instructors will be roaming and grading during this time, but there will be no formal presentations to visitors - just informal conversation about everything you ever wanted to know about radiation but were afraid to ask.
The poster presentations will be on Tuesday, April 30 beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at approximately 10:30 a.m. in the Radiologic Technology Lab on the 2nd floor of the Jefferson building. Come visit us!
