The 9th Annual MGRS will be held at the University of Toledo’s Memorial Field House and Student Union on April 7, 2018. This all-day, multi-disciplinary, multi-university symposium aims to foster intercollegiate relationships, collaboration, and professional development. 

Scheduled events include oral and poster presentations, professional development workshops, a Q&A session, an awards ceremony, and will end with dinner and a keynote address. Last year’s event included students and judges from 16 universities totaling close to 400 people in attendance.

Online registration is currently open and will be free to all students until March 10th, 2018. Interested graduate students should register as a presenter. Dr. Clinton O. Longenecker, a distinguished professor from University of Toledo’s College of Business and Innovation, will be the Keynote Speaker for the evening.

This year’s symposium offers several competitive awards sponsored by the Toledo GSA and a variety of other organizations. Sponsors from last year included the AWIS award to honor the top women presenters in STEM-related research, the Sigma Xi award recognizing student excellence in scientific research, the Lake Erie Center award for student research in aquatic science and related fields, the Kappa Delta Pi Education award recognizing excellence in education-related research, among others.
