The Graduate & Professional Student Association (GPSA) and the Graduate College are delighted to announce the 26th Annual Graduate & Professional Student Research Forum, set to occur on Saturday, April 6. This year, we are excited to introduce a new conference-style format that promises to enrich the experience for both participants and attendees.
We are currently seeking faculty members to volunteer as judges for the event. Judges play a crucial role in evaluating the hard work and innovation of our graduate and professional students across various presentation formats, including 10-minute podium talks, five-minute posters, and five-minute creative expressions.
Judging Details: SIGN-UP HERE
- Panel Composition: Each session will be evaluated by a panel of 2-3 judges.
- Sign-Up Deadline: Please volunteer by Monday, March 18.
- Session Assignment: Details and instructions for assigned sessions will be provided by Monday, April 1.
Your involvement will significantly support and acknowledge the outstanding contributions of our graduate and professional student community. We encourage you to extend this invitation to other faculty members and campus colleagues who might be interested in participating in this enriching experience.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to fostering academic excellence within our community. We look forward to your participation in making this year's Research Forum a success.
