DAPS Second Year Poster Symposium

Every academic year, the Stanford Graduate School of Education hosts the Second Year Poster Symposium for Developmental and Psychological Sciences (DAPS) students. This symposium marks an important milestone for DAPS students, providing the chance to design and present a scientific poster on a project they’ve advanced during the first year of their PhD. The event also offers the broader DAPS and GSE community an opportunity to come together to learn more about students’ ongoing research projects and celebrate their achievements.

Explore the virtual poster halls by clicking and dragging your mouse to turn in 360º in order to view all student projects. Each person, represented by a headshot, can be selected to display a poster image as well as a video recoding of their project presentation.
