Each year, the University of Virginia Graduate School of Arts & Sciences organizes the Robert J. Huskey Graduate Research Exhibition to showcase the work done by graduate students. This is an opportunity for graduate students to share their most recent, innovative research with fellow graduate students, professors, and community members.

This year, we are implementing a new, general presentation format. All presentations (both oral and poster) should be designed to target a very general audience. High-scoring presentations will effectively 1) set up the question being investigated; 2) frame the question in context of its broader importance; 3) communicate an evidence-based argument; 4) be accessible to an audience of diverse backgrounds. 

Oral presentation (10-12 minutes) slots are limited. There will be three separate sessions available:

  1. Natural Sciences

  2. Social Sciences

  3. Arts & Humanities

Poster presentations (4-5 minutes) will be targeted towards a general audience

Thank you to our Judges!

Our talented presenters depend on experts—such as faculty, postdocs, and research staff—to provide an objective critique of both oral and poster presentations.  We extend a sincere thank you to the judges who make the exhibition possible each year.

Honoring Dr. Robert J. Huskey

Dr. Robert J. Huskey, professor of Biology, served the University of Virginia for 32 years. As Associate Dean for Graduate Studies, Dr. Huskey sought to improve the graduate student experience, in particular by developing assistantships and providing affordable health care. To honor Dr. Huskey's commitment to graduate students, in 2001 the Graduate Student Council introduced the Huskey Graduate Research Exhibition.
