Through this process of organizing panels and listening to the presentations, graduate students have the chance to see what connects research in different disciplines.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe idea for a conference for Ivan Allen College graduate students was initially connected to the annual Georgia Tech Research and Innovation Conference (GTRIC), sponsored by the Student Government Association. GTRIC showcased graduate student work from across the Institute through a day of poster sessions.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEmily Gibson, a Ph.D. student in History and Sociology, recognized that many Ivan Allen College students studied in fields that most often presented their scholarship through longer-format papers.
