2025 Graduate Research Symposium

 

Duquesne University's Office of Research and Innovation hosts an annual Graduate Research Symposium, allowing DU grad students from all disciplines the opportunity to present their research and other forms of scholarship with faculty, peers, and the local community.

The 2025 GRS will be a hybrid event featuring online and in-person poster presentations. In-person poster sessions will be held in the Power Center Ballroom on Wednesday, March 19, 2025 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Virtual poster sessions and video presentations will be available for students, judges, faculty, and attendees to browse via the Symposium by ForagerOne platform for the duration of the week March 17 - 21.
