2013 Theme: Redefining Interdisciplinary Research

The Interdisciplinary Graduate and Professional Student Symposium (IGPS) is an opportunity for graduate and professional students to share their research, creative, and scholarly work with each other, the UC Davis campus, and the wider community. Students from every professional school and academic college give short talks, present posters, show artistic displays or performances, and participate in student-organized sessions to highlight their work. This year, a research paper category is being added. More than 200 students will present their work and hundreds more will attend.
