Purpose of Travel To qualify for consideration, the student must produce evidence that s/he is participating as a speaker, poster presenter, or panelist at the meeting. The value to students in attending meetings is recognition, as is the value of School representation.

The Associate Dean may grant exceptions upon approval. 2.
