The UNLV Graduate & Professional Student Association and Graduate College jointly host the Graduate & Professional Student Research Forum each spring, which showcases excellence in research conducted at the graduate/professional level. Next year’s event will be held at the UNLV Student Union, March 29, 2008. Graduate and professional students participate in the annual forum by sharing their research with peers and faculty from across campus, and experience the wide breadth of scholarship generated by the graduate and professional programs at UNLV.
Students may present their research either as a poster or as an oral presentation. Awards are given at the close of the event to recognize outstanding presentations.
Each year, the GPSA awards grants for research and conference travel to support projects that directly affect a student’s degree program and make a contribution to his/her discipline. In 2006-2007, $85,000 was awarded to students for research and conference travel. Participation in the research forum was required for students who received GPSA funding for the 2006-2007 academic year. The forum is open to all graduate and professional students at UNLV.
