The Grad Expo is an all-day event where Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences graduate students from a variety of disciplines present papers and posters to their fellow students, faculty, and other members of the Pitt community. This event provides the opportunity for graduate students to gain experience in presenting their research as well as fostering interdisciplinary communication amongst the departments and programs within the School of Arts and Sciences. It is an opportunity for students from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines to be exposed to practices and concepts which, while possibly foreign to their field, might nevertheless enrich their work and certainly their academic experience at The University of Pittsburgh.
Grad Expo 2023
This year, the Grad Expo will be held in-person on March 17th, 2023 in the Lower Lounge at William Pitt Union.
Grad Expo 2023 will provide participants with the opportunity to make their research accessible to a broad audience across DSAS. This year, we will award five selected presenters with $200 to be used for research activities or related purchases.
Participants will be scored on the significance and impact of their research, presentation abilities, and on their ability to present their research to a panel of academic judges from a wide range of scholarly disciplines. This opportunity will give you the opportunity to polish necessary skills for teaching, grant writing, discussions with stakeholders, and more!
We invite you to submit your abstract (<250 words) for either a poster or presentation format.
