Student Award:2008

The meet-and-greet breakfast session jointly held by Section IX and APA's Division 5 at the 2008 APA convention in Boston included a student research poster award session, co-sponsored by the Association of Test Publishers (ATP) and Western Psychological Services (WPS). A committee of ATP representatives selected a set of five assessment-focused student research posters as finalists, whose posters were featured in this session. The winner received an award plaque from ATP and a travel award check from WPS.
