NUTRITIONAL SCIENCES GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM
Wednesday, May 16, 2012
9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

This symposium is designed as a means for students to obtain experience in organizing and giving a formal
presentation in front of a critical audience, something most of you will do many times in your professional
careers. The core faculty will evaluate the poster and platform presentations and provide each student with

on, as well as network with faculty and professionals in the field.
