2011 Annual Graduate Research Exposition

On November 24, 2011 the John Molson School of Business held its third Annual Graduate Research Exposition (AGRE) in the Molson Building Atrium.

The exposition showcased the latest research findings of students in JMSB’s Doctoral (PhD) and Master of Science (MSc) in Administration programs, who presented their work on posters mounted throughout the Atrium. The AGRE was conceived to provide current students or recent graduates with recognition for their research, to enable them to obtain feedback on their work and to enhance their chances of success in industry or academia.

Because the event used a “poster format”, presenters were required, in addition to demonstrating excellence in research, to be able to communicate their ideas clearly and succinctly.

While judges were drawn from both the corporate world and academia, most are representatives of the external business community and many are JMSB alumni. JMSB’s Associate Dean of Research and Research Programs Harjeet S. Bhabra feels that the AGRE provides the university with the perfect occasion to reconnect with alumni who return to serve as judges for the event. “I think the networking experience for our students, continued association with our alumni and the potential for recruiting top-ranked students to our program who get an early exposure to what academic research is all about is truly a win-win outcome for all."

The judges selected the best posters at both the MSc and PhD levels.

The winners, who received cash prizes, were announced at a reception following the event which was organized and coordinated by Dr. Linda Dyer (Management) and Dr. Ulrike de Brentani (Marketing).
