2023 Graduate Research Achievement Day

The Graduate School hosted the 13th annual (4th Virtual) Graduate Research Achievement Day (GRAD) Competition during Graduate Student Appreciation Week, April 3 to April 7, 2023.

This year’s GRAD Day participation was a welcome success. We were very pleased to see 42 poster submissions. The students’ efforts and dedication were outstanding in this virtual competition. We would also like to thank each of our judges who took time from their busy schedules to review and score the posters. Their involvement is much appreciated. ~ from the Dean, Dr, Robert Wojtowicz
