8 presenters receive travel grants AND are later eligible to compete in the Statewide Graduate Research Symposium in Miami, FL.
The Office of Graduate Studies and the Graduate and Professional Student Council (GPSC) host the Graduate Student Research Symposium to showcase the research of graduate students in all disciplines and allow them to obtain feedback from faculty and peers. The event brings together graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, as well as faculty mentors and judges, in an effort to foster further academic collaboration.
DEADLINE to submit your abstract and register to participate in the 2023 research symposium is Monday, February 20, 2023.
All graduate students are encouraged to apply; however, students without previous conference experience will greatly benefit from participating in this event and are highly encouraged to apply. This is an excellent opportunity to practice presenting research in an audience-friendly manner. Being able to communicate science to the public is an important job skill.
NPA SmartSkills - Industry
Many postdocs wonder about the pathway into industry without ways to learn the truth about the journey.
Join two leaders from industry as they share their thoughts on the current industry postdoc landscape, discuss misconceptions about postdocs and careers in industry, clarify differences between industry and academic postdocs and positions, offer recommendations to postdocs seeking to enter industry positions, and provide insights on future trends that may affect postdocs in industry.
This is intended as a collaborative discussion so bring your questions!
NPA Smartskills have recurring sessions every 4th Tuesday of the month.
