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 2018, GRADS featured three events: lecture presentations, poster competition, and presentations powered by PechaKucha (PK).
