Exhibition:
We are wrapping up revisions & edits to research papers and will begin working on presentation supports. Each group will need a trifold board (and any extra supplies you may want to create an eye-catching board)(preferably by Monday, 4/22), these can be purchased at Office Depot, Staples, Target, etc. I suggest that if one group member makes the purchase, other group members chip in $1-2 to cover the cost.
