The panel of judges, comprised of senior managers from industry, evaluated the poster presentations on the basis of overall appearance, technical content and presentation.
Trapani was one of the two top-scoring student members from each student chapter, and he will travel to the ISPE Annual Meeting in October to participate in the international competition. The New Jersey chapter currently holds first place honors in the undergraduate division after Stevens’ Kate Freed won last year’s international competition.
