7th Annual Graduate Research Symposium
Date: March 28th & 29th

The Graduate Student Association of The College of William and Mary invites all graduate students in the fields of Arts & Sciences to submit abstracts for the Graduate Research Symposium, to be held March 28 & 29, 2008. The broadly themed conference is designed to bring together graduate students from differing areas of study and from all stages of the degree process. The congenial setting and professionally-oriented environment provides an opportunity for students to explain and discuss their research, while fostering community relationships across discipline boundaries. Abstracts of no more than three hundred words are requested for the following categories of submission:

• Individual Presentations: Fifteen minute talks describing completed scholarly projects as well as works in progress.
• Posters: Preliminary work from ongoing projects, case studies, and research results presented on posters. Presenters are asked to be available for about two hours to discuss their work with symposium attendees.
• Group Presentations: Panel discussions, workshops, sets of coordinated talks, and other group presentations lasting 30 minutes to one hour.
• General Interest Lectures: In addition to the more specialized presentations described above, there will be a small number of talks intended for a general audience. They should convey something of the flavor of your discipline – whether broad trends or focused topics – and should appeal to students outside of your field.
