“We wanted to give graduate students in environmental fields an opportunity to get out of their labs, connect with students from other disciplines, and learn more about each other’s work,” said DENIN Director Don Sparks.
He noted that the symposium also provides an opportunity for students to polish their presentations and posters for the many professional meetings held during the fall semester.
“Grad students planning to present a talk or poster at a fall conference should take advantage of this opportunity to give their presentation a trial run,” he said.
Anyone may attend the symposium, but participation as a presenter is limited to graduate students of DENIN’s 180 faculty affiliates and Council of Fellows members. Students who are unsure of their adviser’s status can check the listings on DENIN’s website.
Registration for presenters is open through Monday, Aug. 31. Presenters should be prepared with the title and abstract for their presentation before registering. Those who wish to attend the symposium as a guest may register using the same online form through September 30.
