The DEGS Conference provides opportunities for graduate and professional students at all levels of study to showcase their work to the greater Drexel community, engage in professional development, network, and compete for monetary awards.

All are welcome to attend! 

 

The theme of the 2023 conference is "Be well, to do well." In addition to showcasing Drexel's graduate research, the conference will provide information and resources about maintaining wellness in graduate school.

Volunteer to be a peer reviewer

 

We are also seeking volunteers to peer review abstract submissions. Why participate in peer review?
 

  • It is low-risk, high-reward practice for reviewing abstracts and papers for your own research (conferences, journals, papers, etc.) For DEGS, you are only reviewing abstracts, not full papers. 

  • Exposure to different writing styles – i.e. ability to learn the difference between a stronger and a weaker abstract so that you can improve your own writing. 

  • Exposure to research outside of your field – interdisciplinary focus. 

  • Plus, it may give you some research ideas and maybe you'll learn about cool research methods you haven’t considered!
