The capstone event in this series of graduate student activities is a Graduate Student Research Ethics Banquet. To prepare for this activity, interdisciplinary student groups organized in the Case Analysis Workshop will prepare poster presentations which will outline their solutions to the case or cases presented during the earlier workshop. Students from the research ethics course will also be invited to develop interdisciplinary gorups and submit posters. The posters will receive campus-wide publicity and will be displayed for a week at UPRM's Center for Ethics in the Professions, where students and faculty will carry out a preliminary evaluation. Then an evening banquet will be held where the groups will present their case resolutions to an interdisciplinary audience of faculty mentors and other graduate students. The student groups will justify their solutions and respond to questions and comments from participants. Upon completing this series of activities (three workshops plus the banquet) graduate students will receive a certificate from UPRM's Center for Professional Enhancement acknowledging their work in research ethics. The banquet's objectives and activities are presented in the table below.
| Objectives | Activities |
| Students practice skill objectives of ethical awareness, ethical evaluation, and ethical integration in the context of preparing a poster presentation | Poster Preparation: Students prepare a poster presentation on their analysis and resolution of the case presented in the Case Analysis Workshop |
| Poster presentation display helps to disseminate efforts in integrating ethics into graduate research in science and engineering. Interaction with undergraduate students also helps to establish mentoring relationships. | Poster Presentation Displays: Students will present their posters and solutions to ethics cases before peers and faculty mentors. They will respond to comments and questions. |
| Graduate students receive reaction, feedback, and coaching from their faculty mentors and peers | Graduate Research Ethics Banquet: Students will present their posters and solutions to ethics cases before peers and faculty mentors. They will respond to comments and questions. |
| Students receive formal recognition of their efforts in research ethics | Graduate Ethics Certificate: Upon completion of the workshop series and banquet, students will be given a certificate in research ethics |
