UBC Okanagan 3MT Final
April 9 at 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Graduate students will take centre stage—competing for their share of $6,000 in prize money. Their challenge? To captivate you and the panel of judges while explaining their master’s or doctoral research in just three minutes.
Join our host Victoria Femia from Global Okanagan, come cheer on the faculty heat champions, and learn about the research happening at UBC Okanagan! Leading off the event will be guest speaker, Dr. Jelena Komanchuk, winner of the Michael Smith Health Research BC and UBC Okanagan Postdoctoral Fellowships, with her talk, “Sleep health inequities for children in foster and kinship care.”
We will then hear from eleven graduate students who are researching everything from solar cells to sustainable water to preventing falls. Don’t miss the chance to vote for your favourite presentation!
Following the presentations, join us for a reception where you can network with students, faculty, and community members.
This event is sponsored by the College of Graduate Studies, the Centre for Scholarly Communication, University Relations, alumni UBC, and entrepreneurship@UBCO.
