Share your research, sharpen your skills, and expand your reach.
Graduate Research Day showcases the groundbreaking research accomplishments of our
graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Certificates and cash prizes are awarded
in various categories, including Awards of Excellence in Research by a Graduate Student,
Awards of Excellence in Research by a Postdoctoral Fellow, Program/Discipline Awards,
and numerous specialty awards. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your work,
sharpen your presentation skills, and receive recognition for your research.
In addition, The Graduate School is proud to continue our tradition of inviting a
distinguished speaker each year to deliver the keynote speech. Honored guests have
included Nobel Laureates and other highly esteemed researchers whose contributions
have revolutionized science and medicine.
