Attendees are asked to by April 6.

The event is held in conjunction with Graduate Student Appreciation Week and will be emceed by Robert Wojtowicz, vice provost and dean of the Graduate School.

Speakers include:

  • Lindsay Ball, human movement sciences
  • Ana Dreab, chemistry
  • Saige Hill, public administration and policy
  • Meaghan Mozingo, humanities
  • Adenrele Oludiran, chemistry

"Graduate students at Â鶹´«Ã½ are actively engaged in cutting-edge and impactful scholarship," said Bryan Porter, associate dean and professor at the Graduate School. "Their initiatives and energy, supported by committed faculty, contribute to generating important new knowledge and creativity vital for the growth of disciplines and the University. The Graduate School is proud of their efforts and want them to receive as much well-earned attention as possible."

Join us for a conversation with our graduate student presenters and learn about the exciting and wide range of topics they are exploring in their research.

Science Pubs are an opportunity for the community to engage with Â鶹´«Ã½ researchers in an informal setting; a curious mind is all that's needed.
