Spark! Symposium
The Graduate College regularly hosts Spark! Symposium to help our graduate students and postdocs develop cross-disciplinary communication skills. The name Spark! resonates with us because we aim to ignite new conversations, ideas and collaborations. The symposium is an excellent venue to share your research with the UD community and beyond. We want to showcase how your research tackle the biggest societal challenges and advance our understanding of the most complex problems.
