GRADUATE STUDENT COUNCIL - ECO-LUNCH SEMINARS

All graduate students and faculty are invited to attend.

 

Ecolunch serves a variety of purposes.  It was created to provide a casual venue where graduate students can informally present their reseasrch to a friendly audience of their peers.  This means a variety of presentations are appropriate for this forum.  You may present anything ranging from summaries of unanalyzed data to formal powerpoint presentations that you would like to practice for a professional presentation.  You may use this venue to kick around research ideas or get advice about the most appropriate way to analyze or summarize your data.  Ecolunch can be a casual roundtable discussion or a formal practice talk environment.  Use Ecolunch to get advice from your peers, to practice your pre-project talk or to introduce your peers to your thesis research.  Ecolunch presenters can choose a 15-minute or 30-minute time slot with a possibility of a full hour for exit seminar practice presentations.  Ecolunch was designed to help grad students support each other.  Through Ecolunch the GSC hopes to promote discussion and collaboration between graduate students.

 

If you would like to present at an upcoming Ecolunch, contact Stacey at stacey.frisk@gmail.com.
