The Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program’s annual Symposium features research and creative work from undergraduate and graduate students at BGSU. This year, students will submit their project for judging by a panel of faculty for our cash prizes (1st place is $150, 2nd place is $100 and 3rd place $75) in each category (research and creative). Students will ALSO submit a one- to two-minute video summary of their research to post on our Virtual Symposium space. The public is invited to view the videos, and post comments and questions as desired, and then vote on their favorite research or creative piece. The undergraduate and graduate student winners of the public vote will win the $300 grand prize: The People’s Choice Public Scholarship Award!

All entries will be posted on our website as they become available. Voting will begin on March 13th and end at noon on March 16. The winners will be announced at the Symposium Keynote event.
