GradTerp Exchange
GradTerp Exchange is a monthly event in which UMD graduate students and postdocs share their research to general audiences in an informal, conversational setting.
Where Fearless Ideas Drop the Mic
Looking for the chance to hear more about the research your amazing GradTerp colleagues across campus are doing—all while having a drink and some food? Then join us for GradTerp Exchange!
Modeled on events such “nerd nites,” TED talks, or ignite talks, the GradTerp Exchange offers graduate students a unique and important opportunity to develop professional communication skills, share their scholarship, and engage in conversations with an interested and engaged audience in a more relaxed atmosphere.
Each event will feature three speakers and plenty of time for conversation, food, and drink.
Graduate students and postdocs are welcome to participate as attendees or presenters. Please read this entire webpage for information on the Grad Terp Exchanges!
