Tuesday will be an especially busy--and stimulating--day on the UCSC campus, as three major events are taking place in the afternoon and early evening. All three of these events are free and open to the public. Please use campus shuttles and buses to the extent possible to attend any or all of these activities. Thank you.
Symposium puts graduate student research in spotlight
The University Center's tablecloths and silver will be swept aside to make way for a mind-boggling array of graduate students' posters and oral presentations. It's all part of the Graduate Research Symposium, an annual event that packs the dining room and spills onto the lanai.
Drop by from 2 to 4 p.m. to look over the posters, listen to talks, and ask students questions about their projects. The event showcases the variety of research under way throughout campus.
