Opportunity to connect with on campus and online students!

Hello!

The Spring 2017 study-buddy program helps students to connect with other on campus and online students that are taking the same course.  This is to have everybody discuss course material and be able to understand it a little bit better through collaboration with peers. With this program you will also be able to make connections with other on campus and online students which will no doubt aid in your future endeavors.  The courses that we are considering for this program are CEE462 and CEE570. Let us know if you are interested to expand the program to other courses. 

If you are interested in participating with us in the study-buddy program please send us an email to: segso.uiuc@gmail.com

SEGSO Fall 2016 Student Research Seminar

SEGSO believes that a big part of research is effectively communicating your work to your audiences. Also, we know that many us would like to hear more about fellow students projects, what they are, and how they are doing. Therefore, we want to give you the platform to participate in our Student Research Seminar! It will be held on November 10. We want you to feel free to talk about any part of your work (or previous work) that you would be willing to show us.

The idea of the seminar is that each student can talk for about 10 minutes (using a PowerPoint presentation or any other tool he or she might find useful) and then allow some room for questions. This is a good opportunity to practice your presentation skills and gain confidence in a casual setting and in front of a friendly audience. If you are interested, please let us know by emailing segso.uiuc@gmail.com

What? Great presentations of your fellow classmates, hope that many of you can attend to support them and learn about their research.
