Graduate Student Seminar Series
The Graduate Student Seminar Series offers graduate students the opportunity to present their own research to an audience of fellow grad students and, on certain occasions, faculty. The GSSS provides an informal environment where students can exchange research ideas; it fosters collaborative efforts in scholarly research among students.
The GSSS is distinct from the department "brownbag" workshops, in which both faculty and students present their work to the entire department.
If you wish to present your work, contact Rob Szarka for more information.
