NE Ride will be available for our Scott Campus-based students. This is a great opportunity for our graduate students to showcase their research, learn about research in other disciplines, and to network with colleagues. There are many ways for students to participate in the symposium including presenting at as a keynote or session speaker, competing in the Pitch Competition or multimedia session, attending the networking luncheon, or as an attendee.
