Returning for 2020 - Graduate Student Three-Minute Video Competition

2020 Details coming soon

This competition will challenge graduate students of the Western Section to communicate their research projects effectively and concisely to a general audience, without using jargon. The 3-minute video should focus on the student’s research project and participants are encouraged to think outside of the box.

Program

As a reminder, there will be no printed WSASAS Program book at this year's meeting or future meetings. WSASAS voted to discontinue the print version of the WSASAS Program and move to an all app based meeting. Information on the app, how to download it and use it, will be May 2020.

Oral Presentation Presenters - slide ratio should be 4:3 (standard). There will be a laptop at the registration desk to upload your talk via a USB. Talks must be uploaded at least 2 hours prior to your session start time.
