Another email about the OIGP Spring Reception - April 1st, but I want to explain a few things if you haven't taken the time to go to the website. Please don't be mad at me for junking up your inbox. :) 1. Poster/ Presentation (PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.) Submission You do not have to present a Poster. You can do a PowerPoint if you would like. Maybe some of you have a PowerPoint already put together of your research and you don't have to worry about the cost of printing a poster. A 250-word abstract describing your project (be sure to include your Title!). 2. The Awards - Purdue Interdisciplinary Audience Choice Award Determined by the attendees of the OIGP Spring Reception the day of the event. The award consists of a certificate of recognition and a $250 prize. 1 award only for all the Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs Certificates of Excellence in Research Judged by and ESE faculty member. 1 award for EACH of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs Most Outstanding Interdisciplinary Project Award The Most Outstanding Interdisciplinary Project Award (MOIPA) is a financial award given to a recipient and runner-up whose research is deemed, by a faculty panel, to be particularly interdisciplinary. A project statement, 1000 words maximum - See the website for complete details. NOTE - If you are not able to make the March 1st deadline (tomorrow), please let me know.
