Graduate Research Roundtables
The Graduate Research Roundtables are funded in part by graduate student fees and feature a ‘Passport Program.’ In addition to building their skills and community with other graduate students, those who attend these sessions in person will be entered into raffles and be eligible for prizes. Any student who attends all Roundtable sessions in a semester will receive a Certificate of Completion and a guaranteed prize, recognizing their commitment to professional and academic development. While the primary focus is on graduate students, the events are inclusive and open to the broader campus community. The Passport Program is made possible by a gift from Libraries’ Advisory Board member Laurence G. Bousquet G’80.
