GRADShowcase is a university-wide, interdisciplinary, conference for graduate students by graduate students showcasing and celebrating graduate studies at the university. The event features workshops designed to teach valuable skills; a panel discussion featuring prominent speakers in the world of academia; showcases research by TMU graduate students; and a poster competition with prizes for the winners.
Adapted to a virtual format for 2021, the conference will run across three days in two - three hour long virtual sessions each afternoon.
GRADShowcase, the university's graduate student conference, is back for its fourth year!

How We Started
GRADShowcase is a conference for students by students. We came up with the idea at Yeates School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies’ GRADCafe, an event where students from across disciplines discussed themes of leadership and changing the world.
What better way to apply the desire to change our world than by sharing our research with each other to collaborate on solutions?
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring together TMU graduate students from across disciplines to collaborate and discuss the ways in which our research can change the world and to build a community of leaders who have the skills to succeed in their graduate careers and beyond.
