The Graduate Student Government puts on the Graduate Research and Discovery Symposium (GRADS) every year as a stage for graduate students to share their innovations with the community. In 2019, GRADS featured three events: lecture presentations, poster competition, and presentations powered by Ignite.

Here are some pictures of the 2019 GRADS! (Must have a Clemson email address to view photos)
The GRADS event takes place during Clemson’s Research Week in early April every year and includes poster contests, lecture presentation and 5-minute lightning talks.
This year we will also have speakers from the industry and from Adobe, Clemson presenting talks aimed at improving graduate students' career prospects and skill sets!
