As part of the Transfer Bridge program, students work in small collaborative teams to tackle a research project. The main objective of this project is for students to collaborate with others in their academic discipline to explore a related research and/or innovation topic of interest. Students share their research/innovation findings with invited faculty and industry guests at the end of program showcase by presenting a poster, delivering a short elevator pitch, and having open networking/ Q&A with attendees.
2021 Transfer Bridge Showcase
This year's showcase was held virtually on Friday, September 10. Incoming transfer students had two weeks to develop a project with a focus on UN Sustainable Development goals. They presented their research findings through videos, presented their posters and had a Q&A with attendees. All videos and posters can be found on Box at this link.
