In its fifth year, the Graduate Academic Conference will promote its most powerful assets in three theme areas, Innovation, Collaboration, and Professionalization. These three themes have been a consistent undertone of the previous four conferences and have proven to drive great opportunities for the graduate/professional student research community.
The GAC showcases both completed and ongoing graduate/ professional student research, provides constructive feedback, and offers professionalization and networking opportunities for attendees. Our previous four conferences have been an ideal space for networking across disciplines, presenting research in a welcoming environment, and competing for prizes.
