<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">To provide students, faculty, and counseling professionals with additional time to develop and submit high-quality proposals, the presentation submission deadline has been extended to July 6. We
especially encourage graduate students to consider submitting poster presentations, as they offer a valuable opportunity to share research, clinical experiences, program evaluations, and advocacy initiatives with the broader counseling community. Poster presentations
promote professional growth, facilitate networking with peers and experienced professionals, and allow presenters to receive meaningful feedback while contributing to the advancement of the counseling profession.</span></p>
