Graduate Student Research Day
What Is Graduate Student Research Day?
Once a year, the Graduate Student Organization (GSO) holds an
event on the UConn Health Center campus called Graduate Student
Research Day (GSRD). GSRD is a forum for the students in the
graduate school to present their research through poster presentations.
At the end of the day, there is a keynote address by an
invited speaker.
Our guest speaker for 2012 will be Dr. Jeff Lichtman from
Harvard University.
This year, GSRD will be held on Thursday, June 7, 2012.
