This year, 141 students participated in UAB’s 16th annual Graduate Student Research Days on February 24, 25 & 26. Of those students, 38 received awards and were recognized at the Graduate School Awards Luncheon held on Friday, March 5 in the HUC Great Hall.
“While Research Days has historically been a forum for graduate students to present their research among their colleagues, it has also provided an opportunity for faculty and postdoctoral fellows to serve as judges,” says Kellie Carter, the event’s coordinator. “Several judges commented on the depth and breadth of the research being done by students and were quite impressed.”
The Graduate Student Association, which helps sponsor the event, provided timekeepers for the 14 sessions. In all, 58 faculty and postdoctoral fellows volunteered their time and expertise as judges.
