About the Graduate Research Symposium
The Graduate Research Symposium (GRS) is one of only a few graduate-focused conferences that is broadly themed and therefore designed to bring together graduate students from differing areas of study and from all stages of the degree process. The 2024 Symposium featured more than 150 poster and panel presentations.

William & Mary invites graduate students conducting research in Humanities, Humanistic Social Sciences, and the Sciences to present at the upcoming Graduate Research Symposium hosted by our Arts & Sciences Graduate Center. The Symposium will be held in the Sadler Center, February 27-28, 2025 (Thursday & Friday). This event encourages interdisciplinary exchange, bringing together students from the sciences and the humanities at William & Mary, as well as from other universities. While participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses, there are no fees to register or participate. Check out our past symposia programs to get a sense of the event.
Event History
The Symposium grew out of the American Cultures Conference, an annual event launched in 2002 by William & Mary's American Studies Program. It soon became the Graduate Research Symposium and is now hosted by the A&S Graduate Center; it is organized by a dedicated group of William & Mary graduate student volunteers, and supported by the staff in the Office of Graduate Studies.
