Penn Grad Talks

From racial policy to competition to mining lithium to aging virtuously, get the latest knowledge from Penn Arts & Science’s outstanding graduate students at the seventh annual Penn Grad Talks on Friday, February 24, in sessions starting at noon. 

Penn Grad Talks are a series of TED Talk-style presentations by Penn Arts & Sciences graduate students representing the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and professional master’s programs. Up to five finalists in each category have been selected to speak at the 2023 edition. Judges will select winners in each category to receive a $500 cash prize.

It will also be live-streamed, and both in-person and virtual audience members can vote for the overall Audience Choice Winner, who will also receive $500. Winners will be announced at an Award Ceremony and Reception at 4:30 on Friday.
