An Interdisciplinary Forum for Graduate Student Research
With a focus on aging research, SoAR is a one-day meeting for engaging with graduate student research beyond disciplinary and professional boundaries, and across areas of expertise. SoAR encourages graduate students from any discipline to present, dialogue, and learn about current research on processes, experiences, and systems related to aging. The interdisciplinary SoAR is an opportunity for graduate students to network across disciplines and professions, initiate trans-departmental collaborations, and engage in integrative conversations on aging research.
Objectives:
Provide a forum for graduate students engaged in aging research to:
- Disseminate aging research to fellow graduate students,
- Establish opportunities for interprofessional collaboration on future projects related to aging,
- Promote a showcase aging research at the University of Waterloo.
