Student Presentations
Three Western Science students will have the opportunity to share their interdisciplinary research project. The best presenter will receive a prize of $750 to support their academic studies. Prizes will also be presented to the runners-up.
This opportunity is open to Undergraduate and Graduate students who are currently enrolled in a science program at Western University. Interested students are invited to submit a 60-second video summarizing their research using lay language to science@uwo.ca by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, November 11. The Dean’s office will reach out to those selected as presenters by November 25. You must be available the first two weeks of December to participate. Please note, students that have been a top three finalist in previous years are not eligible to apply.
This special event is a result of the generous support and vision of Western Science alumni Mary Catherine Fallona (BSc’61, MSc’65) and James Fallona (BSc’58, MSc’62).
