Guarini Poster Session

Each year, Guarini’s Poster Session provides a platform for Dartmouth graduate students and postdocs to showcase their research through posters and engage with a broad audience, including faculty, peers, and community members. Designed as a professional development experience, the session helps students refine their ability to explain their research and its broader impact to non-specialists.

The 2026 Guarini Poster Session will take place on April 16, from 5-7 p.m. in the Ballroom at the Hanover Inn. Prizes of $300 will be awarded for the top posters. Prize of $100 will be awarded to the People’s Choice, voted on by the general audience.
