Dear Colleagues at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa,
I’m writing on behalf of the organizing committee for the Ottawa Carleton Student Northern Research Symposium, which is being held at Carleton University this year. We’re issuing our call for abstracts, with the relevant details included below in text format, with posters following. We’re looking forward with excitement for the chance to share interdisciplinary presentations of Student Northern work, and in the interest of broadening our pool of attendees as much as possible, I’d like to ask you to share this with your departments, colleagues, working groups, and/or students.
Many thanks,
Keegan Smith
