The 2013 SRH Graduate Research Forum was held at MUDRIH on Tuesday 4 June. The theme of this year’s forum was ‘Beyond the PhD – Where to from here’. HDR (Higher Degree by Research) students from across the school came together for the day and were joined by supervisors and other staff from across the School, both in person and via video and teleconference.

A number of the students gave short presentations on their studies which resulted in good discussion and feedback from the rest of the group. Presentations were made by the Head of MIGR, Dr Charles Tustin, the MPA on HDR hot topics, our Faculty HDR Associate Dean – Sharon Ricardo, Jahna Pulman on Strategic Career Planning and Professor Bob Williamson, who discussed the importance of good mentorship. Presentations will be made available on the School’s intranet shortly – on the soon to be launched HDR page.

The School also held its round of the three minute thesis competition which was judged by Angelo D’Amore, Clare Van Den Dolder and Professor Bob Williamson.  The judging panel declared it a draw with the $200 prize being split evenly between Marita Chisholm and Nicole Kellow.  However, the judging panel decided that Marita will represent our School at the Faculty round of the competition in the next couple of months.
