Western’s Inspiring Minds Initiative

ducks near body of water

Inspiring Minds seeks to broaden awareness and impact of graduate student research, while enhancing transferrable skills.

Inspiring Minds has one rule:  graduate students (master’s and doctoral) are asked to describe their research, scholarship, or creative activity in any language in no more than 150 written words.  They can also include supplementary digital files to support their work including music, images, or video clips.

Some reasons to participate:

  1. It’s great written communications practice (which is the key goal of the exercise)
  2. It’s not a competition – 26 randomly selected submissions will receive some extra coaching and be turned into digital artwork
  3. You’ll be contributing to a first-of-its-kind, multi-disciplinary collection of the research being done at Western

Submissions will be accepted until June 11, 2021.
