The day will continue with the announcement of the Principal’s Awards for Research Excellence recipients, which are awarded annually to recognize Glendon researchers who have made an outstanding contribution to research over the past five years.
An exciting new event will wrap up the three-day festival, when students from the Masters in Public & International Affairs program turn the tables, and present back to the distinguished speakers from the 2022-23 academic year. Short presentations will be followed by a Q-and-A period.
