3 Minute Thesis Faculty of Education Heat Winners 2022

April 01, 2022

The Faculty of Education, Graduate Studies is pleased to announce the results of the 2022 Three Minute Thesis competition. Five compelling thesis presentations were showcased during the Faculty of Education heat of the 3 Minute Thesis Competition.

The Faculty of Education judging panel, Dr. Becky Cox, Dr. Sean Chorney, and Dr. Kevin O'Neill, had the unenviable job of ranking the competitors on a set of fixed criteria. The audience members were tasked on selecting their favourite competitor as well for the People's Choice winner.
