Graduate students concentrating on the marine sciences will be
gathering to present their research and network with other students and
faculty at the 2003 Gulf of Mexico Graduate Student Symposium. The
symposiumıs mission is to provide graduate students in aquatic, marine
and biological sciences throughout the Gulf of Mexico with the
opportunity to exchange information and ideas and present their graduate
research in a supportive setting with their peers. Both formal and
informal presentation styles are welcome.
This conference allows students the opportunity to practice
presentations prior to professional meetings and degree defenses, and to
network with graduate students and faculty throughout the region.
Generous donations from sponsors and host institutions make this an
exceptionally affordable and enjoyable event for graduate students.
The venue for this yearıs symposium is the campus of the Dauphin Island
Sea Lab, a marine science consortium which houses research from
participating universities in Alabama. Dauphin Island is a barrier
island approximately 45 minutes south of Mobile, Alabama, with a
beautiful Gulf of Mexico coastline.
