Join us for the first Share Your Science Symposium hosted by the Office of University Interdisciplinary Programs. This event will showcase the interdisciplinary research happening in fellowship programs supported by the Provost’s Office. Programs include:
- GG Scholars (GGS) – Genetics & Genomics Academy (GGA)
- Global One Health Fellows (GOHF) – Global One Health Academy (GOHA)
- Global Change Research Fellows (GCRF) – Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center (SE CASC)
- AgBioFEWS, GES Minor – Genetic & Engineering Society (GES)
- Sustainable Futures Fellows (SFF), C-CRIT Fellows, BEIP students – Climate and Sustainability Academy (CaSA)
- GRAD-AID for Ag NRT
The event will highlight interdisciplinary research from students in these programs through research talks, flash talks, and posters. This event will also provide time for networking and opportunities to learn more about each of these units in the Provost’s Office and ways to engage. Students, faculty, and staff from across the university are encouraged to attend!
