Graduate Student Poster Session
Each year, the Guarini School’s Graduate Student Poster Session serves as a key event during Graduate Student Appreciation Week, providing a platform for Dartmouth graduate students to showcase their research. This event offers an opportunity for students to present their work through posters and engage with a broad audience, including faculty, peers, and community members. Designed as a professional development experience, the session helps students refine their ability to explain their research and its broader impact to non-specialists.
The 2025 Graduate Student Poster Session will take place on Wednesday, April 9, from 5:00 – 7:30 PM in the Ballroom at the Hanover Inn. The event concludes with an awards ceremony recognizing the top three posters, with $200 prizes for the winners.
