Symposium Overview
Each year the Graduate Student Education Council (GSEC) and the College of Education at Purdue host the Annual Graduate Student Education Research Symposium (AGSERS). This year’s theme, "Resilience, Resistance, Restoration, and Race," highlights the current issues that educators are facing as we hope to be able to recover from the global pandemic and racial injustice. We extend an invitation to students from all departments at Purdue University conducting research related to education.
Formats
There will be three formats that presenters can use to share their work:
Poster presentations, which will be judged (for the Best Poster awards), 3-minute thesis, which will be judged as well, or as roundtable presentations, which will not be judged.
Please review detailed information regarding presentation formats at the end of this email or on our website.

Submitting your Research
Presenters who have multiple projects can also choose to present during BOTH the poster and roundtable sessions (one piece of work by poster and one piece of work by roundtable), but can only present one of each. Presenters can enter completed work OR work in progress. All proposals should be submitted via the submission portal by 11:59 p.m. Friday, March 4, 2022 . Secure your spot today!
GSEC will be in touch regarding an informational workshop on creating poster and roundtable presentations in February or early March.

Presentation formats
Poster Presentations:
All posters should be set up by 9:00 a.m. to allow judges to view posters
Poster sessions combine graphic display of materials with the opportunity for individualized, informal discussion of the research throughout a 60-minute session. Presenters will create a poster to display during the session and attendees will walk around the session viewing posters. Be prepared to summarize your poster, expand on elements of your poster, and answer questions. It is suggested you bring business cards or a handout for those interested in more information. Abstract max 150 words.
Roundtable Presentations:
The roundtable session is a 60 minute session which will allow presenters who have a start to their research, but still have questions, an opportunity to gain insight from colleagues. This is a session where you can discuss your area of research (ex: special education, science/engineering education, human development, policy, etc) with others who may be able to guide your next steps or provide feedback. The format for this session includes a brief overview of your research interest area, a concise description of your proposed study or research line, followed by a discussion. During the discussion you can pose questions, ask for advice or discuss alternate methods with those in attendance.
Depending on quantity and variety in submissions, the session will be structured in one of two ways: (a) similar submissions will be grouped to a roundtable by discipline. Each table will have up to 5 presenters with 12-30 mins each or (b) separate 30 minute sessions with 1 presenter per table. Details of session format and duration will be provided in acceptance emails.
Three Minute Thesis (Virtual):
Three-minute thesis presentations will be held in a lecture style classroom at the beginning of the AGSERS festivities. Order of presenters will be randomly assigned, with three minutes to present (computer with projection display available) and a brief question and answer session with the audience. Presenters should be able to catch and maintain the attention of the audience, while clearly and concisely summarizing their research in 180 seconds or fewer. Abstract max 200 words.

GSEC asks that you consider serving as a judge for the 2022 AGSERS. AGSERS is a great opportunity for graduate students to gain feedback in a friendly and productive environment. Judges support students’ research by scoring posters based on established criteria and providing written feedback for improvement.
Judges will be asked to arrive for an informational session at 9:30am on the day of the symposium. Three minute thesis and poster presentations will be judged, however, time is available for you to attend roundtable sessions as well. To account for requests for more time to judge posters, this year there will be optional time to view posters prior to the interactive poster session (view the detailed agenda below).
