GEAS Summer Symposium 2016

Jul 19, 2016 | 08:45 AM - 06:00 PM

In our Summer Symposium 2016, Cohort III first-year students will present their “June papers” in very short talks (max 15 mins), and PIs, faculty, as well as invited visiting fellows and guests will comment their progress. The purpose of the symposium is to give the students a chance to receive feedback on their dissertation outlines from a variety of different researchers. It is probably the last time that students can present their outline at the graduate school before they enter their fieldwork phase.

Afterwards, we will have an informal get-together with drinks and possibly a BBQ at GEAS; bring food and the occasional drink if you'd like to stay a bit longer.
