Graduate Student Organization (GSO)
Graduate Student Research Day
What is Graduate Student Research Day?
Once a year, the Graduate Student Organization (GSO) holds an event
on the UCHC campus called Graduate Student Research Day (GSRD). GSRD is
a forum for the students in the graduate school to present their
research (from lab rotation or thesis projects) orally or through poster
presentations.
At the end of the day, there is a keynote address by an invited
speaker. Our speaker for 2008 will be Dr. Henry Kronenberg,
Division Head of Endocrinology at the Massachusetts General Hospital in
Boston and Professor of Medicine at Harvard School of Medicine.
This year, GSRD will be held on Thursday, June 26th, 2008.
