Colleagues,

Through their innovative research, our graduate students are changing the landscape around issues that are of global interest and importance, including the intersection of technology and medicine, influencing perceptions on climate change, and the future effects of antimicrobial resistance.

Beginning on Saturday, April 28, we will be celebrating their innovative ideas through a media campaign focused on this year’s 13 Three Minute Thesis (3MT) finalists.

Through these students, we’ll demonstrate the breadth and depth of research happening at the UM and the impact their work is having at the local, national and international level.

The campaign will launch in the Globe and Mail and Winnipeg Free Press on Saturday, April 28. A preview of what will appear is attached. In addition, we will be featuring the individual research stories of six of the 3MT finalists through print and digital ads, social media, videos and special content created for the Front and Centre website. There will be other activities planned over the next several months to share these stories with our local and national alumni, community leaders and other key stakeholders.

Be sure to look for the ads this Saturday. Have a wonderful weekend.

Best,

John
