What are TAC Talks, you ask?
TAC Talks are polished, 5-minute snapshot talks presented by UW Tacoma graduate students across a range of research and professional interests. Each talk is accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation, and there is opportunity for Q&A from the audience. We have a reception with food following the event.
Is there a theme?
The theme this year is Breaching Borders, broadly interpretable. These borders might be literal borders or barriers, these can be academic explorations into uncharted territories, these can be transgressions, these can be pushing past the status quo…. Come see how UW Tacoma Grad Students explore this topic through their own research!
Anything new this year?
Why yes! Two things, in fact:
- There is a new “Audience Favorite” award for the talk that best addresses the theme! Come and vote for your favorite!
- We are a part of the brand-new UW Tacoma SHAREFest! SHAREfest refers to the collection of events occurring across campus during the spring quarter at which UW Tacoma undergraduate and graduate students will share their ‘scholarship highlights and research excellence.
