Annual Graduate Exhibition
planned for March 24, 25

Graduate students will have an opportunity to showcase their research and creative endeavors March 24 and 25 at the 16th Annual Graduate Exhibition at University Park.

More than 220 students are expected to participate this year. Students whose presentations are judged best in each of seven categories (arts and humanities, engineering, health and life sciences, physical sciences, social and behavioral sciences, performance and visual arts) will receive awards ranging from $100 to $500. Judges will include faculty members, graduate students and members of the Graduate School Alumni Society board of directors.

The Graduate Exhibition includes three components:

* The poster session, open to students in all fields who are engaged in traditional scholarly research;

* The performance option, designed for those graduate students for whom performing (music, theatre, dance, etc.) is a required part of their graduate degree program; and

* The visual arts display, designed for those graduate students for whom creating studio work (drawings, paintings, sculptures, etc.) is a required part of their graduate degree program.

This year, there are several changes. The poster session will return to the HUB and will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 25, in the Alumni and Heritage Halls.

Entrants in the visual arts display will enjoy a new venue in the HUB Gallery, where their works will be displayed for two weeks.

The closing awards ceremony, scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Sunday, March 25, in the HUB Auditorium, will feature encore performances by the winners of the performance option. The performance competition will be at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 24, in the Esber Recital Hall, Music Building I.

All events are free to the public. For information, visit the Graduate School's Web site at http://www.gradsch.psu.edu/exhibition/
