Welcome!
Welcome to the Summer Professional Symposium! This event is a chance for SENS MSs (Energy and Regenerative Sustainability) and MWS students to present their work, using the 3-minute thesis format.
Presentations are judged on their quality and clarity by SENS faculty, staff, students, and guests, and the top choices are awarded a small prize and bragging rights. Watch this year's student presentations by clicking here, and then please use this judging form to score the presentations. You can also see a showcase of last year's presentations here.
We will be using this Zoom meeting link for all parts of the symposium. If you leave the symposium at one point, you can rejoin later using the same link.
