Thesis and Field Exam Symposium

We have now scheduled our first annual Thesis and Field Exam Symposium for February 6th at 10:00a.m in the SAC.  Dr. Hicks will send out a formal call for submission in January.  The plan is to have two consecutive one hour sessions, in which students offer brief presentations of their research.  We intend to structure the event so that there will be plenty of time for comments and questions by audience members and other presenters.  After the second session, there will be a catered lunch provided by the Office of Graduate Studies.  This is a great opportunity to get valuable feedback on all of your hard work and we hope to see you there!
