Graduate Research ForumPoster and Oral Sessions

Participating in the Graduate Research Forum is a great way develop your presentational skills and to learn about what graduate students in other programs do.  You can present your research in an oral session or a poster session.  Oral sessions are 75 minutes with three to five presenters.  Presenters have 10-20 minutes to present their research to the audience, with questions during the last 10 minutes of the session.  Poster sessions are 75 minutes and each presenter has a 42"x64" cork surface to hang his or her poster.  Presenters discuss their research with guests as they circulate through the posters.  All presentations are evaluated by alumni and/or faculty judges.  Awards in the form of professional expense funds are given to the top three oral and top three poster presentations.
