All students, faculty and staff are invited to the symposium and alumni reception/poster session on Friday, October 19. This is an excellent forum at which to discuss research projects with each other, especially for new graduate students (who are required to attend) who are investigating opportunities for thesis research and searching for a research advisor.

Faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students are invited to present a poster. If you plan to attend and/or present a poster, please RSVP. Best Undergraduate Poster and and Best Graduate Poster will be given awards. Door prizes will also be given to those that attend and vote for best poster. Light horderves and refreshments will be served.

Lastly, chemistry and biochemistry alumni have also been invited to attend the reception and poster session as part of GT Homecoming Weekend (as well as tailgating activities the next morning). This is a great opportunity see old faces and meet new ones. Hope to see you there.
