Master's Student Spring Showcase

GSLIS Student Affairs is excited to announce the Master's Student Spring Showcase. The showcase is an opportunity for MS and CAS students to present projects, research, or other work of interest to the GSLIS community in BOTH a poster session and lightning talk format. This is a great opportunity to gain experience developing poster and presentation content and to practice communicating the value of your work.

The event will begin with lightning talks followed by a poster session and reception. Food and refreshments will be provided. The lightning talk portion of the event will also be streamed live via Blackboard Collaborate. Direct questions to Becky Hodson.
