4th Annual CUE Research Forum 2019

The 4th Annual CUE Research Forum was a success. 51 posters were presented by Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students and Faculty Members at CUE, representing 10 Departments of 4 of our Faculties. With this research poster exhibition, CUE showcased and celebrated the exciting accomplishments of our students and faculty in advancing research and innovation across all disciplines.

The Forum was opened by our Vice President Academic and Provost, Dr. Valerie Henitiuk. It took place at two locations, the Tegler Student Space, and in the recently opened Design Thinking Space, located in the Allan Wachowich Centre.

New this year

For the 4th Annual CUE Research Forum, we held our First Annual Poster Competition. Poster presentations in 2 categories (Undergraduate Students an  Graduate Students) were judged by a panel of members of the CUE. Winners were announced by Dr. Henitiuk, and presented their posters at the Design Thinking Space.

The Academic Community at CUE is proud to show its support for our students.
