Einhellig Interdisciplinary Forum

Two students talking at the Graduate Interdisciplinary Forum

30th Annual
Frank Einhellig Graduate Interdisciplinary Forum
April 29, 2023

Our institution prides itself on the extraordinary work of our students, done both independently and with the mentorship of our faculty. Our dedicated students have been working on research and creative projects that push the boundaries of our knowledge. The Frank Einhellig Graduate Interdisciplinary Forum (EIDF) is a celebration of graduate student achievements, and we invite all of you to join us to offer your encouragement and take part in the discussions our students have started.

The EIDF showcases graduated student research and creative works through poster presentations and art exhibitions. Presentations are designed for an audience with varied academic backgrounds, so jargon is minimized and explanations are clear. Abstract submissions are open to all MSU graduate students. 

Students, share your research and creativity!
