The University of North Texas will celebrate graduate student research at the first Graduate Exhibition March 2-3. Events are free and open to the public.

Participants will compete for $10,000 in prizes in eight categories.

“The exhibition will showcase the diversity of outstanding research being done by graduate students on our campus,” said Mark Wardell, right, dean of the Toulouse Graduate School which is co-sponsoring the event with the Graduate Student Council. “The exhibition also offers our undergraduates a first-hand look at opportunities available at the graduate level at UNT.”

Students will be competing in eight categories including:

• Humanities
• Life Sciences
• Computer Technology and Information Sciences
• Engineering
• Social and Behavioral Sciences
• Physical and Mathematical Sciences
• Music
• Visual Arts

“Winners will be determined by how well entrants present their research or creative endeavor to a general audience,” Wardell said. “Whatever the presentation – music, research posters or visual arts – students will gain a valuable experience in professional development they will use throughout their careers.”

Performances by doctoral students in the College of Music will be from 2 to 5 p.m. March 2 in the Murchison Performing Arts Center.

Research presentations and a visual arts exhibition by doctoral and MFA students will be March 3 in the University Union, third floor.

Judging is from 11 a.m. to noon, with all displays open to the public from 12:30 to 3 p.m.

Awards presentations will be at 3 p.m.
