AB  -         Enhancing the Graduate Experience: A Conference for Graduate                 Student Put on by Graduate StudentsThe Graduate Student Council at _________ University set a goal to enhance the graduateexperience for all graduate students. To achieve this goal, the council had to understand whatgraduate students felt would make their experience better. The feedback received was simple,graduate students wanted to have an opportunity to meet other students and know what sort ofresearch is being done by their peers. Basically they wanted to enhance the community feelingand atmosphere. Instead of a simple mixer, the council decided a college wide conference couldfill the void, while also providing many additional benefits to the graduate students.The conference not only allows for all graduate students in the College of Engineering andScience to have an opportunity to showcase their research, but also build their network of peers.Providing an atmosphere where students can expand their network invites opportunity for crosscollaborations on work. The conference used the NSF style of review. An intensive peer reviewprovided a mechanism for mirroring professional organization/society paper and proposalprocess.This paper will chronicle the experience of putting on a conference for graduate students bygraduate students. It will discuss the lessons learned by the graduate students who put on aconference for the first time as well as provide advice to other universities that might want toprovide a similar service to their graduate students. Survey data from graduate studentexperiences with the process as well as the conference will be presented.
