Graduate Student Research Day is an annual event featuring research from graduate students in all disciplines. It features posters from hundreds of students, panel discussion, and professional development workshops.
The event is open to all graduate students. We encourage undergraduate students participating in research activities to attend the event. The event is also open to all postdoctoral fellows/associates, researchers and faculty.
This year’s Graduate Student Research Day is themed around STANDING OUT: IT’S A RACE TO THE TOP. The event will offer workshops on networking & transitioning to job market with company representatives looking to hire graduate students! There will be free resume & CV critiquing services by UF’s Career Resource Center. There will also be a panel discussion with UF’s new Preeminent Scholars, a keynote, and a 3-minute thesis/dissertation presentation.
Tentative Agenda
Graduate Student Research Day will feature a Poster Contest with monetary awards given to the highest-scoring posters. A team of faculty, staff, community members, and graduate students will judge the posters during the Poster Session on October 28th, 2014. Participation in the poster contest is optional; you may submit an abstract for a poster without entering the contest (view poster instructions here). There will also be a raffle of some cool Apple products! The more events you attend, the more raffle tickets you get and better your chances of winning!
