USI Graduate Student Colloquium
Spring 2020 Colloquium
In an effort to make this third annual Graduate Student Colloquium more accessible to our increasingly large number of students, both online as well as those on-campus, we have selected as its theme Accessibility. This theme also reflects the University of Southern Indiana’s 2015-2020 Strategic Plan, which included “access by design” as one of its three strategic goals. As the university transitions to its third strategic plan, we take this opportunity to celebrate Accessibility in all of its manifestations.
In light of the University's recent announcement, all colloquium presentations will be pre-recorded and posted on this site on Tuesday, March 24, 2020.
More details and links to presentations to follow.
