What is the Graduate Research Colloquium (GRC)?
Each spring, GSG sponsors the Graduate Research Colloquium Poster & Presentation Competition. The GRC is a unique opportunity to share your research with the University community and to gain experience in presenting that research to colleagues. During GRC the MUB is turned into a mock conference where presenters are broken down into various technical sessions, ranging from Advances in Modern Medicine & Health to Power and Energy, and everything in between.

Who can participate?
All graduate students are highly encouraged to participate by presenting their research in an oral presentation or creating a poster detailing their research. You can even do both!
Why participate?
The GRC provides graduate students a great opportunity to practice their oral or poster presentations in a friendly environment before presenting at a major conference. These presentations will help you to gain valuable feedback from judges and other audience members that can benefit your research. The GRC is also a great way to network and learn about other research that is being done on campus. Cash prizes of $300, $250, and $150 are available for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place speakers in both the poster and oral presentation sessions.

Poster Printing
Each year GSG strives to make GRC accessible for all students. In order to ensure that cost is not a barrier GSG will be covering the cost of printing posters for GRC this year. All you have to do is register for the poster session and then go to the Library to have your poster printed. They will have an account set up for people who have registered for GRC. Simply print your poster via the Library procedure, tell them it is for GRC, and they will charge us. Note: You must be registered for the poster session or they will not allow you to use the account!
If you don’t have a poster tube to transport/store your poster the Library has them available and we will cover this cost too. Limit to one poster per registration. While there is no deadline for printing your posters it is advised your have your poster printed a couple days ahead of GRC to ensure there is enough time for .
We hope that this will make GRC even more accessible for all graduate students and that we will have a lot of great posters at the poster session this year.
