As a community of scholars, the Graduate Professional Student Association (GPSA) and faculty invite OLIT undergraduate and graduate students to gather and present their research and applied projects, including multi-media projects and highlights from their academic and professional development. The Expo provides an opportunity for students to support, share, and learn from one another. In addition, the Expo is another way for individuals outside the program to learn about OLIT and to experience OLIT student work.
