The Showcase of Graduate Student Research and Creative Activities is an opportunity for graduate students from more than 60 degree programs at JMU to share their work with peers and professors in a professional conference setting. The Graduate Showcase will highlight research and creative projects through oral presentations, panel presentations, and poster presentations. Judges will nominate a panel presentation and poster presentation to receive top presentation awards.
