GGSS Round Table
The Round Table is an annual student showcase held at the University of California, Davis. Professionals from government and industry are invited to presentations and poster sessions by GGSS student members. The goal of the Round Table is to foster a connection with professionals so that researchers at UC Davis have an understanding of the needs of industry and industry is aware of the research projects at UC Davis. The event highlights include student presentations, poster sessions, an industry panel discussion, and social festivities.
The Geotechnical Graduate Student Society will be hosting our 18th Annual Round Table event on Thursday, February 21th, 2025 at the UC Davis Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) Ballroom (760 Orchard Rd, Davis, CA 95616).
