A Focus on Graduate Students

Dr. Robert J. Huskey, professor of biology, served the University of Virginia for 32 years. As Associate Dean for Graduate Studies, Dr. Huskey sought to improve the graduate student experience, in particular by developing assistantships and providing affordable health care. To honor Dr. Huskey's commitment to graduate students, in 2001 the Graduate Student Council introduced the Huskey Graduate Research Exhibition.

2019 Huskey Exhibition

The 2019 Huskey Graduate Research Exhibition was held on Tuesday, March 26, 2019 and adopted a new format: oral presentations in the style of TED Talks—brief, informative, and engaging for a broad audience. Submissions were accepted through Thursday, February 28, 2019, and all speakers received a $200 honorarium.
