Graduate Research Showcase

The Graduate Research Showcase provides an opportunity for graduate students to present their research to the university and wider community, while networking with representatives from key industry employers. Participants will choose to present either a poster or oral presentation in competition for a prize up to $500. After the event, there will be an award ceremony where students will be recognized for their outstanding achievements.

For attendees, the Graduate Research Showcase is an opportunity to learn about the stellar efforts and accomplishments of Missouri S&T's talented and dedicated graduate student researchers. All students, faculty, and staff, as well as the public, are warmly welcomed to attend.
