Greetings from the Graduate School!
The Fall Career Colloquium is coming up on October 20-24, 2025! To showcase the outstanding scholarship of Vanderbilt's graduate students, the Graduate School will host Communicating Research: Graduate Lightning Talks as a part of the Career Colloquium!
This lightning talk competition provides graduate students with a platform for showcasing research ideas to a broad audience while practicing concise, impactful communication. Participants gain valuable experience in presenting their work under time constraints, while sharpening skills transferrable to professional success in both industry and academia.
Students may submit an abstract to be considered for the presentation of a lightning talk at the event.

All scholars invited to present at the event will receive a small gift and the top scholar, chosen by a panel of judges, will be further honored for their exceptional lightning talk and scholarship through a $150 reward via direct deposit. The event will also feature a People’s Choice Award (audience vote) with the winner receiving a swag bag.
