President’s Welcome Reception Attendees to Share Experience
Posted February 2, 2009

Undergraduate and graduate students from colleges and universities across the globe will showcase their research in the TMS Technical Division Student Poster Contest at the TMS Annual Meeting. The event will coincide with the President’s Welcome Reception on the evening of Monday, February 16.

Nearly 70 students will share their research in this event that is sponsored by the five technical divisions of TMS: the Electronic, Magnetic & Photonic Materials Division; Extraction & Processing Division; Light Metals Division; Materials Processing & Manufacturing Division; and Structural Materials Division.

Each of the technical divisions award $500 to the best undergraduate poster and $500 to the best graduate poster. A top prize of $1,000 will be awarded by TMS for the "Best of Show" poster.

New this year, students will get a chance to share their work with attendees of the President’s Welcome Reception. The reception is open to all attendees and will take place an hour after the Student Poster Contest begins. Both events will be in the Exhibit Hall at the Moscone Convention Center.
