The University of Toledo Graduate Student Association (GSA) cordially invites graduate students from Michigan State University to the 11th Annual Midwest Graduate Research Symposium (MGRS) held at the University of Toledo on April 4th, 2020.

The multi-collegiate and interdisciplinary atmosphere that the MGRS offers is not only a benefit to the graduate students at the University of Toledo, but to the entire academic community in the Midwest Region. Learning from each other means understanding the rest of the world. Innovative ideas do not stop at the institution’s borders, nor do opportunities for collaboration and competition. To thrive in today’s complex and high-paced social landscape, students having various scholastic backgrounds need to interact with and learn from each other.

Scheduled events include oral and poster presentations, professional development workshops, and will conclude with complimentary dinner and a keynote address by Dr. Kristen Fussell, Assistant Director of Administration and Research of the Ohio Sea Grant College Program. We are expecting a growing number of guests that include presenters and judges from more than 20 universities and approximately 500 attendees for this year’s symposium.

Online registration is currently open and will be free to all students until March 13th, 2020. This year’s symposium once again offers several competitive awards sponsored by the University of Toledo GSA and a variety of other organizations. We strongly encourage interested graduate students to register as a presenter.
