SEEDS - Sharing Environmental Engineering 鶹Ƶies Symposium
SEEDS in SEEC, the first Annual EVEN Graduate Research Symposium
Time: 2:00 - 3:30pm
Location: SEEC EVEN wing, CU Boulder East Campus
Poster Session

EVEN graduate students will showcase their past and current research projects at the Annual EVEN Graduate Research Symposium as part of the EVEN Visit Day for prospective students. New posters are encouraged, but existing posters can be reused from a previous event, conference, or presentation. This symposium and poster session will provide an opportunity for interactive discussion and networking among current and prospective students. Civil Engineering students in theHydrology, Water Resources & Environmental Fluid Mechanics focus area are also invited to join us.
All attendees will cast votes to recognize the most informative and most creative posters.
This symposium is scheduled in place of the weekly EVEN seminar of February 28, so current EVEN graduate students and faculty are strongly encouraged to participate.
Objectives
- Build community among current EVEN graduate students
- Encourage collaboration among EVEN research groups
- Showcase current EVEN research initiatives
- Engage with prospective graduate students and assist in recruitment efforts for EVEN Visit Day
Abstract Submission
If you are a current graduate student and plan to participate with a poster, sign up here and include your title and topic:
Poster submission deadline (for funding): February 20, 2025
You can print your poster at INSTAAR in SEEC, Ink Spot at the UMC, , , or other locations.
