2020 SEPM-SGD Outstanding Student Poster winners 
We again held a successful joint SEPM/SGD sponsored student poster session, which included 22 student poster presentations. Our intrepid students engaged in an entirely new poster format delivered through the GSA Connects virtual platform and turned out a session filled with amazing work! Four of these students were selected by a panel of judges to receive a $500 prize as recipients of the SEPM-Sedimentary Geology Division Student Poster Award.
