CSEE graduate students participate in UMBC’s 35th Graduate Research Conference

Twenty-three CSEE graduate students will present their research at UMBC's 35th Annual Graduate Research Conference (GRC) on Wednesday 20 February 2013. Oral and poster presentations will take place between 9:00am and 12:30pm in the Commons and University Center. There will be a lunch at 1:00pm in the UC Ballroom followed by a panel on civic engagement from 1:30 to 2:15 in which UMBC graduate students, faculty and administrators will discuss activities fostering civic engagement, including graduate level courses with a community engagement component, GSA's Food for Thought project, and Dr. Shaun Kane's Accessibility Hack Day.
