What is the Forum?

The Interdisciplinary Forum is a venue allowing graduate students to share the research and creative work they have completed in their graduate programs with students and faculty from across campus and from area colleges and universities. The Forum includes both oral and poster presentations.   Faculty members and graduate students who are not presenting research are encouraged to attend.

How will I Benefit from Participating?

The Forum allows you to sharpen your presentation skills as you receive feedback on your research from people outside your discipline.  Additionally, the Forum gives you a chance to see the projects of other graduate students from across campus.  Participation in the Forum provides you with a valuable presentation experience and it can be included on your resume.

How Can I Get Involved?

Start thinking about what type of presentation you would like to do.  You may choose either a poster display or an oral presentation.  Talk to your advisor and begin working on your abstract which summarized your research or creative work.  Plan on attending the workshops on 'How to Write an Abstract' ( Feb. 18, 4-5pm. PSU 312) and 'Presentation Pointers: Oral and Poster Presentation Success' ( April 6, 4-5pm. PSU 312).  To RSVP for the workshop, please visit the Graduate College Website: http://www.graduate.missouristate.edu/WorkshopsSpring2009.htm
Abstracts will be due at noon on March 16, 2009 and the submission form will be posted online soon.
