The morning symposium provides an opportunity for our graduate students to present ideas about their thesis/dissertation research and to receive feedback regarding their plans. Your comments and insights are welcome and expected. We will hear from a good mix of MS and PhD students. Whether you are there to give feedback, support your fellow students, find out what everyone is working on, network, socialize, or are curious about grad school yourself, all are welcome!
