Acting Dean of Science to host undergraduate student town halls

Dr. Travis Fridgen, Acting Dean, Faculty of Science, will host two Virtual Town Halls for undergraduate students.

The first event, aimed specifically at first-year students, will allow the newest members of our science community to ask questions and raise concerns based on their own unique perspective. The one-hour session will take place on Feb. 9 at 11:30 a.m. 

The second town hall welcomes all science undergrads, including first-year students, and will take place on Feb. 12 at 11:30 a.m. 

Students are asked to presubmit questions for the Q&A to science@mun.ca. Please indicate in which event you wish to have your question addressed. The deadline for submissions is Feb. 5.

How to attend

To attend the Faculty of Science Undergraduate Town Hall for First Year Students, which will be hosted on Brightspace, click this link to enrol in the course. However, to attend the general Faculty of Science Undergraduate Town Hall click this link to enrol. 

The links, which requires MUN Login, will automatically enrol you and take you to the course site in Brightspace. This can be done at any point between now and the time of the event.

On Feb. 9 or 12, depending on which session you are attending, return to Brightspace prior to the 11:30 a.m. start time, to join the event. There will be two options for joining the forum: a Webex link that will allow you to ask questions and join the conversation or a view-only YouTube stream for those who want to watch the event but not actively participate.

Please note that the Webex event is limited to 1,000 participants. If that number is reached, all additional attendees will be directed to the view-only stream.

The event will be recorded and shared with students at a later date.
