The biennial Graduate Group Student Symposium attracts graduate students from all over the United States and from other countries to contribute papers on an interdisciplinary theme that spans the interests of the Group’s three departments. Planned and organized entirely by students, the biennial symposia are one of the Graduate Group's most significant shared enterprises.
