About the Discovery & Impact Symposium
- The goal of the Discovery & Impact Symposium is to provide students with the experience of communicating their research in a friendly environment while receiving constructive criticism and feedback.
- The symposium also provides an excellent opportunity for faculty, students, and staff to learn more about ongoing research conducted within our department.
- Attendance and participation in the Discovery & Impact Symposium is required for all graduate students. Undergraduates and vet students involved in summer research internships are expected to attend and present their research. All undergraduate students and student volunteers involved in ADVS research projects are also encouraged to participate if participation is permitted and encouraged by their individual mentors.
- Monetary prizes will be awarded for the best presentations in each category.
