The Graduate Student Association (GSA), The Graduate School, and the Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) are pleased to announce the second annual Graduate Student Project Presentation Competition. Graduate students from all disciplines are encouraged to present their work to the UTSA community, as well as invited guests from the San Antonio and neighboring communities, as part of our first annual Graduate Student Appreciation Week. This is a great opportunity to show off what you have been working so hard on all semester, as well as obtain feedback to refine your project for submission to professional journals, conferences, and thesis/dissertation.
Graduate students entering into the competition will compete for a cash award. There will be four competitive categories: (1) Science and Engineering--poster, (2) Social Sciences--poster, (3) Humanities--oral presentation, and (4) Creative works--visual and performing pieces [Formatting restrictions apply]. For each category, there will be three cash awards (1 Distinguished, 2 Outstanding) and non-cash awards for Honorable Mentions.
Eligibility
Participants must meet the following requirements:
Must be enrolled in a graduate course of study at UTSA
Projects must be original work of the student, with assistance from professors in a purely advisory capacity
Must be available to attend the Graduate Student Appreciation Week final event and award ceremony the evening of Friday, April 9th, on the 1604 campus.
Procedures
Students interested in participating should send an e-mail to the address listed below by February 12 expressing their intent and the category for which they plan to submit (if you are not sure which category best fits your project, send us some details and we will figure out the best match). Please include a working title and, if a visual or performance piece, the specific media of your project. Posters can be printed at a discounted rate through the GSA [Formatting restrictions apply].
Abstracts and/or a description of your project will be required by March 26. Guidelines for abstracts/descriptions will be sent out to participants in a subsequent e-mail.
Posters and visual pieces will need to be ready and on display at the 1604 campus by Monday, April 5. Oral presentations and performance pieces will be scheduled during the daytime for that week. Judging will take place throughout the week. Award recipients will be announced on Friday, March 9.
