Welcome!

The Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) Research Symposium & Exposition is a unique opportunity for graduate and advanced undergraduate students to bring together ideas and research findings from different disciplines by showcasing their scholarly pursuits and achievements in a variety of formats, including posters, papers, panels, roundtable discussions, and creative installations. This year’s theme is Beyond Boundaries, Across Disciplines. This reflects the goal of the GSA Research Symposium & Exposition Organization Committee to highlight intersectionality across multiple disciplines, and our commitment to showcasing research from a wide variety of departments, programs, and colleges during the Symposium. We would like to thank to the abstract reviewers who helped us through the reviewing process; the VT Faculty who graciously agreed to volunteer their time and expertise and serve as judges during the Symposium; and the volunteers for their tireless help. We also would like to thank Joe Edens, Lauren Surface, Marilynn King, Monika Gibson, and Will Walton for their logistical assistance. Without their assistance, we would not have been able to reach such a large audience. We also would like to thank Dean Karen DePauw for her endless support, inspiration, and encouragement. We wish to specially thank the GSA Executive Board: Emma Potter, Kasey Richardson, Matthew Chan, Richard Rodrigues, Tara Reel, and Mohammed Seyam; who are all a great pleasure to work with! Their gracious support has guided us through every moment of the preparation process. Thank you also to Alex Hyler, the chair of the last year’s Research Symposium, who has always been there to respond to our questions. Particularly, we feel so lucky to have Chelsea Corkins, the GSA Director of Programs, who has been a constant source of advice, guidance, and assistance. Thank you so much Chelsea, for your energy, optimism, and support! Above all, we would like to thank the more than 160 students from over 50 departments and programs at Virginia Tech for their interest in, consideration of, and participation in the 32nd Annual GSA Research Symposium & Exposition! Thanks to them, this year’s Symposium is the largest one to date, with more than 170 poster, oral, roundtable, panel, and creative presentations. We hope it will be a great experience for those who participate! Anthony Carno & Yesim Keskin GSA Research Symposium Co-‐Chairs

Graduate Students Assembly (GSA) The Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) is the governing body of approximately 4,000 on-‐ campus and 1,000 offcampus graduate students. The GSA represents students' concerns and serves as their liaison with the University Administration. GSA members also serve on a variety of University commissions and committees. In addition, the GSA administers grant programs to directly promote research and educational efforts of its members. The GSA strongly promotes graduate student community across departments by providing social events to encourage graduate students to come together. Every year the GSA governing board and delegate body work to improve campus life, scholarly development, and graduate community by creating and implementing goals based on the issues and concerns of graduate students on campus.

Workshops & Roundtable

The Interdisciplinary Research Honors Society Roundtable, 9am-‐ 11am The Interdisciplinary Research Honors Society at Virginia Tech is proud to present a Interdisciplinary research roundtable at the GSA symposium. This year, the round table will combine a panel of Interdisciplinary faculty with the chance for students to discuss their pathway to interdisciplinary research in rare small group discussions with faculty.

For more information about the workshop, please contact Shelley Cooke ([email protected]). In order to RSVP, please click http://bit.ly/1TUT8St Lunch and Learn: Turn Your Presentations into Scholarly Articles, 11am-‐1pm By The Writing Center (http://www.composition.english.vt.edu/writing-‐center) Wouldn’t you love to leave the GSA Research Symposium and Exposition with a scholarly article in the works? The workshop is going to be composed of two parts. The first part will explore the similarities and differences between the genres of presentations and journal articles. The second part will allow you to begin to turn your presentation into an article. You will leave with useful tools not only to help you turn your current presentation into an article, but those you plan to do in the future as well. Bring a brown bag lunch, your presentation, and laptops or tablets and be ready to work so you can start transforming your presentation into a scholarly article! For more information, please email Becky Morrison ([email protected]) and Katie Garahan ([email protected]). In order to RSVP, please click http://bit.ly/1pRifce Safe Zone 101: Introduction to LGBTQ+ Identity, 1pm-‐3pm

During this Safe Zone training, members develop an understanding of LGBTQ terminology, concepts of privilege and identity development, and build skills for identifying and interrupting language and behavior that may be discriminatory. Campus resources and reporting processes are also shared. Safe Zone members are encouraged to actively participate in developing

a visible and supportive community, continuing their own education around LGBTQ identities, sharing their knowledge, modeling language and behavior that is inclusive, and advocating for a campus community free from discrimination and bias. For more information, please email the Safe Zone Coordinator, Natasha Cox ([email protected]). In order to RSVP, please click http://bit.ly/1ptyDPx
