Senior students of psychology and disability studies will discuss what they learned in their practicum placements, in a display of poster presentations on Tuesday, April 17, in the CAW Student Centre Commons.

The drop-in exhibit runs 3 to 6 p.m. and features work by students in three courses:

• Community orientation to disability issues,
• Practicum in psychology, and
• Practicum in developmental psychology.

It is free and open to the public.
