Graduate Talk Series

A group of graduate students has put together the Graduate Talk Series (GTS). GTS developed out of an enthusiastic graduate student response to address some of the issues that were raised during the grad review. It was designed to foster academic engagement and intellectual community among the graduate students and between the graduate students and faculty. To that end, we have put together a forum for graduate students, run by graduate students, where we can present our research to the rest of the grad students and the larger academic community.

In this forum, grad students will give one-hour talks in the same style as Colloquium. This will differ from the various brownbags in that only grad students will present, and the presentations will be aimed at the broader psychological sciences community. This is also a great opportunity for everyone to learn about the amazing things all of the grad students in our department are doing.

Want to present?
If you are a psychology graduate student and would like to present, email GTS.UCSD@gmail.com and let us know. We are currently looking to fill Fall, Winter and Spring quarter slots. If you want to present but are still early in the program and don't feel you can fill an hour, let us know and we'll arrange for you to split a slot with another student.
