The Council of Graduate Students announces the 13th Annual Graduate Academic Conference will be all virtual and take place on February 20, 2021. We are now accepting abstracts for poster and oral presentations. This conference provides a great opportunity to fine-tune your presentation skills and gain valuable insight on how to communicate your research to a generalized audience. You’ll receive feedback on your poster or oral presentation from a slate of adjudicators and the winner of the Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition qualifies to go on to the regional competition. The top three winners in each category — oral, poster, 3MT — will each be awarded prizes of $300, $200, and $100 respectively. (*Must be an enrolled MSU graduate or professional student to qualify for cash prizes and 3MT advancement.)
This year’s entirely virtual event will be hosted through the Whova platform. You will be able to interact with presenters and watch the presentations via your computer or mobile device! The service will have an agenda for the day that you can interact with to navigate to the many wonderful presentations happening throughout the day. We look forward to you attending and presenting at this first ever fully online GAC!
In addition to the competition, presenters will have the opportunity to participate in workshops to enhance their communication skills. Not presenting? You can watch your peers’ presentations and attend the workshops too! Please visit our webpage (http://cogs.msu.edu/gac/) for more information, and be sure to check back often for updates.
