Chosen from more than 200 entries, the 25 finalists representing 18 universities across Canada were announced on April 11. The annual Storytellers contest challenges post-secondary students to tell a story, in 300 words or less, of how SSHRC-funded research and knowledge about social sciences and humanities has great impact on the lives of Canadians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
