OIGP Reception - Poster/Presentation deadline - Friday, March 1st. You are invited to present your interdisciplinary research at the Office of Interdisciplinary Graduate Program's Spring Reception. The Spring Reception is a celebration of interdisciplinary graduate research, conducted like a poster session. Presentations will be in either poster or multimedia (PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.) form, although most ESE students will likely present using posters. Presenters are welcome to share research they have presented in another forum. As a presenter, you will be automatically considered for the Certificate of Excellence in ESE Research, as well as the Purdue Interdisciplinary Audience Choice Award (a crowd preference award with a $250 monetary prize), the winners of which will be determined during the event. Finally, as a student in an interdisciplinary program, you are eligible to apply for the Most Outstanding Interdisciplinary Project Award (MOIPA; NOTE: you must fill out the MOIPA application found on the Spring Reception website to be considered for the MOIPA). The winner of the MOIPA will receive a $750 monetary award and be asked to present a 10 minute keynote presentation at the Spring Reception. Additionally, the MOIPA runner-up will receive a $250 award.
