The Graduate Speaker Sessions are an opportunity for the chemistry graduate students to train their presentation skills and critical thinking. This should be used as an opportunity to practice your presentation in a low-pressure environment before the actual presentation. Some basic rules are:
- Topics should be about chemistry, and can be either related or not related to your current research
- Presentations can be of any length
- The practice session will be granted by the GSC upon request by the speaker. Please contact Christina cmcconville@smu.edu to book the practice session
- All GSC members will attend the session, but it is the job of the speaker to invite others to the practice session
- A Seminar evaluation form will be distributed and filled out by audience members. These forms will be given to the moderator/speaker at the end of the talk
