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? Then join us for GradTerp Exchange!
Modeled on events such “nerd nites,” TED talks, or ignite talks, 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.
For Fall 2020, GradTerp Exchange is going virtual! Settle in from the comfort of your own computer with your own libations and join us on zoom to hear our two featured speakers and participate in some conversation and camaraderie with other grad students.
Interested in offering a talk? All current graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are invited to fill out the presenter form. Please contact Linda Macri (lmacri@umd.edu) with any questions. For Fall 2020, we are also offering a series of GradTerp Exchange Workshops for students interested in preparing a talk about their research for a broader audience, at GradTerp Exchange or another venue! Workshops will be held September 16 and October 21, from 3-4pm; to register, click here.
