The Graduate Research in Progress (GRIP) Symposium is an annual event that provides students with the opportunity to hone their presentation skills while showcasing their research findings to fellow students, faculty and industry professionals.
Presenting at GRIP is a program requirement for the MSc and PhD degree programs. When not presenting, students are required to attend GRIP every year they are registered in the program.
