*Poster Review Workshop* -  Immediately following The Graduate School Process  will be a poster peer review session.  Students will need to bring 3 normal paper sized rough drafts of their posters, so that they can be reviewed.  Note:  This is a change from the original date and time, which was July 16th at 3p.

 

July 27th -   AGEP and IMSD Graduate Student Symposium - AGEP and IMSD's graduate students will be presenting their summer research in a symposium at McKimmon Center on July 27th beginning at 2:00p.  There will be both oral and poster sessions.  This is a great opportunity for undergraduate students to get an idea of how to present their posters later in the week and find out what is expected of them on a graduate level.
