Graduate Research Rodeo

The MSU Research Rodeo is an annual event held by the Animal Science Graduate Student Association. The purpose of this event is to provide a unique opportunity for the Animal Science community to interact and share their research and interests.

Event Format

Each graduate student has three minutes to talk about his/her research and interests. After the talk, an additional two minutes is allowed for questions and feedback. The graduate student can choose one of the following audiences:

  1. Lay audience: audience that does not have any specialized knowledge of the topic under discussion;
  2. Scientific community: this scenario mimics the fast interactions that happen during our scientific meetings;
  3. Prospective employer: this scenario is a perfect opportunity to practice an employment "sales pitch".
