Students, Researchers Share Science and Engineering Knowledge

(Thunder Bay - March 30, 2005) The Lakehead University Agora will be abuzz with information and knowledge sharing on Thursday, March 31 and Friday, April 1.

The 40th Anniversary Graduate Research in Science and Engineering Poster Fair will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days. Graduate students, senior undergraduates, and professors will showcase current, cutting-edge research in Science and Engineering for regional high school students as well as the University community.

"This is an excellent chance for younger students to visit the campus and see what sort of research and career options there are in the sciences," says Dr. Heidi Schraft, organizer of the poster fair and Biology professor. "I hope this event inspires some high school students to come to Lakehead U to study in these fields."

Along with the poster displays, researchers, current students, and professors will be on hand to answer questions and explain their research. Everyone is invited to this fair to learn more about Science and Engineering Research at Lakehead University.

This event is sponsored by: Office of Graduate and International Studies, Office of Communications, Office of Research, Faculty of Engineering, and the Faculty of Science and Environmental Studies.
