Graduate student finalists vying for the George W. Anderson, Jr. Award deliver Pecha Kucha presentations of their work in front of a live audience. The Anderson Award recognizes graduate students who demonstrate through their work an exceptional level of attention to detail or dedication to beneficially impacting the community.

Pecha Kucha is a presentation style in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40 seconds in total) with the images advancing automatically.
