Join us for the Fifth Annual CNR Graduate Research Symposium on March 8, 2023.

We are excited to announce that CNR’s 2023 Graduate Research Symposium will be held in person from 12:45-5:30pm in Talley Student Union (Hatteras-Ocracoke & Currituck Ballrooms).

Once again we will have a poster competition and 3MT competition (Three Minute Thesis) celebrating the work of our graduate students.

We encourage everyone in the CNR community to participate.  This is a chance for us all to reconnect and learn about the amazing research our graduate students conduct.

The events will include a poster session and Three Minute Thesis (3MT) presentations, along with opening remarks by Dean Myron Floyd, and a closing awards ceremony.

This year’s research categories include:

• Management & Policies
• Human & Environment Interactions
• Sustainability & Sustainable Bioeconomy
• Natural Systems

Master’s and PhD students will compete for a range of monetary prizes that will be awarded in both the poster and 3MT competitions. Postdocs are encouraged to present a poster, but are not eligible to participate in the competition.

This year’s event is sponsored by the CNR Research Office.  It will showcase and celebrate the outstanding research, teaching, and extension of graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and their faculty advisers or mentors in the Departments of Forestry and Environmental Resources, Forest Biomaterials, and Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management, and the Center for Geospatial Analytics, in the College of Natural Resources at NC State University.
