ADVANCE-Sponsored Research Showcased November 4th

ADVANCE-Sponsored Research Showcased November 4th.

Over the last three years, ADVANCE at Rice University has sponsored social science research, designed to enlighten the Rice University community as well as the larger national community about issues related to gender. ADVANCE plans to share this research with the larger community on Wednesday, November 4th and we would like to welcome your attendance at our events.

First, there will be a Poster Session in the Pavilion from 11:30-1:00.

Feel free to come browse the poster sessions and grab a free coffee while you read about the research and talk with the investigators. After the presentation of these powers, research posters will be part of a traveling poster display and will be rotated for seven days throughout our campus.

Second, there will be Powerpoint Research Presentations in 102 Keck Hall from 3:30-5:00 p.m.

Feel free to come listen to one, several, or all of the talks that interest you.
