The Doctoral Symposium is a forum for Ph.D. students to discuss their research goals, methods, and results at an early stage in their research. The Symposium aims to provide useful guidance for completion of the dissertation research and initiation of a research career. The event itself is closed to the public, however we are pleased to share an overview here.
