Overview:
The 7th Annual Graduate Student Research Colloquium will be held on June 20, 2017 in conjunction with the 2017 Travel and Tourism Research Association (TTRA) Annual International Conference. The purpose of the Graduate Student Research Colloquium is to provide an interactive forum for graduate students to discuss their research, to obtain constructive feedback from researchers in the fields of their expertise, to support the successful completion of their research, to expose students to peers’ work, and to establish relationships for future inter-institutional collaborations. The event will be organized as a half day pre-conference combining a session of oral presentations followed by an open meeting concept combining short dissertation pitches (3 minutes) and visual presentations.
