The Graduate School of Arts & Sciences held its 12th annual Robert J. Huskey Research Exhibition yesterday in Newcomb Hall. The exhibition was part of the second annual GradDays,
"GradDays is a celebration of graduate and professional student life and academic achievement at The University of Virginia, highlighting and enhancing the substantial intellectual and social activities of the graduate and professional community," according to the Graduate Student Council website.
Yesterday's exhibition rewarded exceptional research, providing Arts & Sciences graduate students with the opportunity to publish their research. During the event, faculty members, including Associate Dean of Students Francis Laushway, judged about 45 oral presentations and 75 posters detailing graduate research.
Dave Hondula, an Arts & Sciences graduate representative for Student Council, said in an email the exhibition provides students with more than just an opportunity to showcase their research.
"In addition to providing a venue for showcasing student research, the Huskey [Research Exhibition] also is a mechanism for giving students the chance to develop their presentation skills for professional conferences [and] academic interviews," Hondula said.
Hondula called the exhibition the "cornerstone academic event" of the Arts & Sciences Graduate School's interaction with Council.
"For individual participants, the event is significant in terms of the feedback, motivation and inspiration received from judges and peers," Hondula said. "For the school as a whole, the event is significant in that it portrays the depth and breadth of graduate research activities in a way no other forum can."
GradDays activities will continue until March 31.
