MSE Graduate Symposium Winners

Each year the Graduate Student Advisory Committee holds a MSE Graduate Student Symposium to showcase the work graduate students in the department have performed in the past three - four years. This event also serves as an opportunity for students to network with the rest of the department as well as with participating companies.
