Graduate Student Research Day

Each spring, Graduate Student Research Day celebrates the research of graduating MS and MPH students in the UW Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences (DEOHS).

This year, Graduate Student Research Day will be held virtually on May 18, 2021, at 2:30 pm via Zoom. During the event, we will hear a three-minute presentation from each graduating student. After each presentation, participants may ask questions to the student about their research.
