• K-State Research Forum (KRF)
• Capitol Graduate Research Summit (CGRS)

The K-State Research Forum (KRF) will be held at the K-State Union on Friday, March 7, 2008. The graduate poster presentation session will be on display all day, with the researchers present for judging from 11:30 am - 1:30 pm.  The graduate oral presentation sessions will be held in the afternoon and will finish in time for the awards ceremony, which starts at 4:00 pm.  Prizes will be awarded in each session with $150, $100, and $50 for the first, second, and third place individuals, respectively. More importantly, every participant will gain public speaking experience and an opportunity to showcase their research with the public.  For information and access to the online abstract submission form, please follow the link below.

The Capitol Graduate Research Summit (CGRS) will be held at the Topeka Statehouse on Thursday, March 13, 2008 and consists of research posters from Kansas State University, Wichita State University, and the University of Kansas. These are the three major research institutions under the Kansas Board of Regents, providing a broad spectrum of research conducted in Kansas. Timed to coincide with the Board of Regents' March meeting, graduate student presenters have the opportunity to meet with state legislators, the governor and the Board of Regents.  Each selected presenter will be awarded $100 for their participation. This high profile event is enjoyable and is also a great addition to a graduate student's curriculum vitae.
