Announcement

Important Update: Change in Abstract Submission Platform

As of August 2025, the Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) will no longer accept abstract submissions through the Academic Showcase platform. Students who wish to participate in the GPSA Research Exposition must now submit their abstracts through our new Research Organizing Platform. You should visit the Academic Showcase platform if you intend to submit an abstract with Academic Showcase as well (highly recommended).

Please visit our new GPSA Research Exposition event page for details and to complete your application.
