One of the main events of our Pi Day Celebration was our graduate research poster competition. Many graduate students created a poster containing the main points of their thesis research and present their findings to other students as well as a committee of professors who determine the best presentation. Not only is this a great opportunity for graduate students to practice presenting their research for their thesis defense, but it also allows for undergraduates to experience what graduate research is like and encourage them to pursue higher education. The winner of this year’s poster competition was Chris Hogan and second place was Yumeng Wang.

The final event of the day was writing many digits of Pi. Every person who came to the event had the opportunity to write 10 digits of Pi on a piece of paper and attach it to the long chain of digits.
