When: Wednesday, January 17th, 2024 from 4.30 - 5.30pm
What: Learn more about developing your research idea and completing the application. This conversation will be led by Dr. Amy Burns, Associate Dean and researcher in women's leadership, policy and governance, and Cynthia Prasow, Director of Student Experience and faculty member in charge of our PURE awards. We will also have two potential supervisors in attendance who will share their wisdom and insights on doing educational research.
At this session we will go over how to decide on a topic and how to narrow it down, how to complete the application form that you will need signed by a supervisor, how to approach a potential supervisor, and, finally, the structure of the honours program and what that entails.
Registration details coming soon!
After the February 1st deadline, if you are otherwise eligible, you will be sent the supplementary application package asking you to describe your project and program goals, as well as confirming you have a supervisor in place! The supplementary package includes both a program proposal/research aims aspect, as well as a joint student/supervisor checklist.
In the meantime, we highly encourage you to check out some great resources on approaching a supervisor, writing a potential supervisor an email, and our list of Honours supervisors!
