Students from each 2015-2016 EHD project team will present a five-minute talk on his or her team’s work. Please see the schedule below for the full listing of presenters and talks.
A reception and poster session, also at the Nasher, will immediately follow the talks.
All are welcome, including students, staff, faculty and other guests.
Celebrating Students’ Achievements
This event celebrates the achievement of students who have been working on interdisciplinary research teams within the Bass Connections EHD theme. It provides an opportunity for students to discuss the research projects and their work.
“We heard from students that they wanted more opportunities to present their work and that they were looking for some type of culminating event that would recognize and highlight their achievements throughout the year,” said EHD theme administrator Cecily Hardaway.
“We were happy to create this opportunity, so that students have a sense of accomplishment and can share their work with other Bass teams and the Duke community more broadly.”
