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.
