CEGSS is committed to fostering an academic and research-driven community by bringing together graduate students from all civil engineering disciplines, including environmental, geotechnical, hydrotechnical, structural&earthquake, project construction management, and transportation engineering. Through events like Research Day and the 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition, we create opportunities for students to showcase their research, refine their presentation skills, and engage in meaningful discussions. Research Day provides a platform for graduate students to present their work through poster sessions, while 3 Minute Thesis challenges participants to communicate their research concisely and effectively to a broad audience. These events encourage collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional growth within our department and beyond.
