We invite you to join us at the 2009 Western Regional Conference as we reflect and repair, acknowledge and ascend, prepare and produce, envisage and encourage, and boldly blaze new trails!  We are calling for posters addressing any ACADEMIC topic of interest to the diverse membership of the National Black Graduate Student Association.

Posters are ideal for presenting speculative, late-breaking results or for giving an introduction to interesting, innovative work.  Posters are intended to provide authors and participants with the ability to connect with each other and to engage in discussions about the work.  Poster sizes are not specified; however, they should be at least 17” by 22”.
