A new older-adult-focused academic event that involves faculty, students, and agencies will be held in conjunction with the EWU Student Research and Creative Works Symposium. Those from all academic disciplines across the university and community, including students at our community colleges are eligible to apply. Consider promoting this opportunity in your classrooms and through engagement with community agencies. Posters will automatically be entered into competition with other posters in the Symposium. Judges will award prizes for the best posters.
