In observation of Missouri Graduate Education Week (April 19 to 23), The Graduate School at the University of Missouri–St. Louis and Sigma Xi, the scientific research society, held their annual Graduate Research Fair on Tuesday.

Forty-five doctoral and master’s degree students displayed poster presentations of their research in the Century Rooms at the Millennium Student Center. The fair allows graduate students to present their scholarly and creative work to faculty, staff, administrators, students, family members and the community. Visitors interact with the presenters directly, and the work is judged by a faculty panel.
