Testimonial from 2023 Poster Competition Winner, PGR student Aisling McCormick
“The workshop provided a comprehensive toolkit of knowledge and resources: all we needed to create our own academic poster. With clear instruction, useful resources, and tried and tested techniques, we were thoughtfully guided through the process. I then was able to refer to the class materials and presentation to assist in working on my design. The workshop helped to build my confidence and I felt encouraged to give it a go and entered the Graduate School poster competition. I was ecstatic when I received the news that I won!”
