From the smallest life forms to the most complex social and environmental systems, graduate student research in West Virginia University’s Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design runs the gamut.

Davis College students pursuing master’s and doctoral degrees will get the chance to share their scholarly endeavors at the 15th annual Graduate Student Research Conference on Tuesday, April 9, in the Blue and Gold Rooms of the Evansdale Residential Complex.

Students will present either a 15-minute oral research paper or a research poster. Ph.D. and master’s students will be judged separately in the two categories: oral presentation and poster presentation. For each contest, monetary awards will be presented for first and second place respectively, in both the paper and poster categories.

The event is free and open to the public. Doctoral candidates will present their papers from 8:20 to 12 p.m. Master’s candidates will present their papers from 1 to 5:20 p.m. Master’s candidates will be available to answer questions about their research posters from 8 to 10 a.m. Ph.D. candidates will be available to answer questions about their research posters from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
