From 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM on Tuesday February 8th, the SONGS Information Sessions Committee will be hosting a virtual Thesis Defense event, open to all MSc. and PhD trainees.

The information session will include:

1. A presentation on preparing and defending a thesis, followed by Q&A regarding thesis defense logistics with Lara Staecker and Susan Simpson.

2. A discussion period with Graduate Neuroscience Program faculty member, Dr. Arthur Brown, on what to expect on defense day from thesis examiners.

3. A panel featuring graduate students who have recently defended MSc. (Madeline Gilchrist) and PhD (Matthew Maitland) theses.

This event is a great opportunity for all graduate students to learn more about preparing for a defense and to hear from other students about their defense experiences!
