Other information:
The Graduate Student Government Poster Symposium and Conference highlights a variety of programs, papers, projects, creative work, and research studies of the graduate students of NAU from all disciplines. The event provides an opportunity for students to introduce their research to those outside of their discipline, enhance their presentation skills, and represent their respective colleges.
This is a great opportunity to present your work visually (the Poster Symposium) and also practice presenting your research in a small group environment to attendees interested in current research at NAU (the Conference). Feel free to prepare your poster as if you were presenting to peers / general audience (i.e., do not overuse field-specific terms).
IMPORTANT: Please note that GSG is not responsible for recording your presentation. However, upon request, GSG will be able to provide a signed confirmation of your participation in the Symposium and/or Conference.
