Saint Mary’s Expo – 2025
Springboard was pleased to sponsor the Saint Mary’s University Research Expo on March 7, 2025.
This premier event attracted researchers, industry, faculty and interested members of the public.
The event is held annually to highlight and promote the innovative research of faculty and graduate students at Saint Mary’s University.
This year’s Research Expo featured research displays from the faculty of Science, Sobey School of Business and the Faculty of Arts.
There was also a series of rapid-fire of three-minute presentations from five faculty members and industry, with a focus on environmental sustainability.
