September 27th – Scripps Student Symposium (S3)
The goal of S3 is to provide a platform for Scripps Institution of Oceanography graduate students to present and discuss their research with colleagues from all curricular groups, to foster interdisciplinary collaboration amongst the student population, and to introduce the new first-years to the wide variety of research Scripps has to offer. This event has been going on since 2014. The presentations are designed to be understandable not just to specific fields, but to the broader Scripps community.
You can still submit artwork for this years’ symposium until September 20th!
