Honours Thesis / Major Project Proposal Presentations

All faculty, staff, students and supporters of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences are invited to attend the Honours Thesis / Major Project Proposal Presentations on December 2nd and 3rd.

This is a great opportunity for future Honour’s students to get an idea of what a thesis proposal looks like, and a chance for faculty in the EES Department and throughout the Faculty of Science to see what our students are up to. The presentations will be in person in the Killam Library Room 4106 (if a zoom link is required, please contact tarah.wright@dal.ca directly). Please feel free to join for as many presentations as you can.
