John D. and Alice Nelson Kraus Memorial Student Poster Competition and MeetUp Event
All dates for this event occur in the past.
The Ohio State University Alumni Association has asked Alumni to volunteer in April in association with the "Buckeyes Give: Month of Service" initiative. Given how much members of this group have benefited from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering through our educational experience and career opportunities, and more recently by opening their doors to us through Meetup events, I think it is appropriate to assist the Department as part of this call to action.
While there are ways to contribute overall to the Department goals through donations (https://ece.osu.edu/alumni/support/program), another way to pay forward is to assist in Department activities by volunteering and offering our experience and expertise. This next Meetup provides the opportunity to do this related to assisting Graduate students within the Department.
The John D. and Alice Nelson Kraus Memorial Student Poster Competition is an annual event where a select number of ECE Graduate Students present their research activities and findings. Faculty and Alumni will interact with the students to learn about their research, provide feedback and judge the entries and presentation skills of the students. This is a great opportunity to get a close-up look at the research ECE Graduate Students are performing and providing feedback regarding how they present their work. On top of that, our input will directly determine the results of the competition.

There will not be a traditional "Meetup" agenda for this event. Just show up during the time noted, register as a judge, and start to mingle with the students, faculty and Alumni. Based on last year's event, the Graduate students really appreciated and benefited from the Alumni participation!
Business casual dress is requested, and there will be refreshments provided. Parking is free at the ESL.
