UF OGAP Open house presentation

Welcome! OPEN HOUSE JAN 11TH, 2017

Who are we?

Graduate students across multiple disciplines that have a common goal of enhancing graduate

education for themselves and their peers

The History behind OGAP

I-cubed (i3): The Innovation through Institutional Integration program began January 2009. It was funded by a 5-year, $1 million institutional-level National Science Foundation grant.

Mission to transform graduate research-based education at UF through an integrative and interdisciplinary program that links various programs on campus to achieve synergies in education, research and professional development.

Graduate Student Advisory Council (GSAC): Started as the driving force on I-cubed. Continued to work on the three pillars of the organization; Ethics, Mentoring, and Teaching.

Over 900 people register to attend GSRD, where 200 researchers from multiple disciplines including engineering, medicine, education, art history, liberal arts and life sciences present a poster.

We count with the support of up to 130 judges (faculty/post-docs) that help us to constructively criticize participants and select winners

• Review registration forms (attendees, participants, and judges)

• Assign poster locations (number)

• Assign judges to each poster

• Communicate with judges and participants before the event (assign poster number, poster instructions, judging rubric, reminders)

• Prepare booklet for the event that contains a summary of poster titles, authors, and numbers

• Prepare and email participation certificates after the big event

To-do List:

Need volunteers!

We will work together with the logistic committee as well as with the webmaster to ensure everything runs smoothly!
