Research Opportunities Workshop Series
November 13 - November 27
Are you interested in research? Attend an upcoming workshop as part of the Research Opportunities Workshop Series. Starting November 13, learn more about whether research is right for you, how to navigate the opportunities available, and how to prepare your application for research opportunities and awards. Refreshments will be provided!
By participating in this opportunity, you will be recognized on the Co-Curricular Record (CCR)! The Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is designed to help students search and track experiences beyond the classroom, link those experiences to skills, and have those experiences recognized on an official institutional document. For more information, visit the Folio site or email questions to ccr@utoronto.ca.

If you have any questions, please email Samantha Clarizio, Experiential Learning Coordinator, at undergrad.research@engineering.utoronto.ca.
