Students gather at a happy hour

For Students

The Graduate Research Fair, initiated by the GSA in 2014, provides graduate students a forum to display and discuss their research with the campus and community. Graduate students are invited to present research related their master’s project, master’s thesis, or a study conducted as part of their program of study during the poster session.
