GPSS Research Symposium

42nd Annual GPSS Research Symposium and Exposition: Wednesday, March 25, 2026
Theme: TBA

The GPSS Research Symposium and Exposition is a unique opportunity for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students to bring together ideas and research findings from different disciplines and showcase their scholarly pursuits and achievements. It provides a platform for exhilarating exchanges of ideas, invigorating interactions, and valuable networking between participants, faculty, departments, and research entities, which could pave the way for interdisciplinary research discussion and future collaboration. 

The Graduate School provides a generous level of funding to cover our operating costs. The scholarship monies awarded to winners are generously donated by many offices, colleges, departments, programs, and schools of the university. The Spring 2026 event will be our 42nd Annual GPSS Research Symposium and Exposition! While your research need not be interdisciplinary, please prepare your materials with a broad audience in mind.
