COGS Student Presentations: Part 2

After spending two days at COGS, I was very conscious that I had not provided readers with the details on the presentations e.g. student name, sponsor, program, topic and the online presentation. Fortunately, Dave MacLean was able to give me the necessary link (bit.ly/COGSPrjs2023 or student-presentations-2023-cogsnscc.hub.arcgis.com/). He has contributed information included in this blog post.

Some “Thank yous” from Dave MacLean

• Patti&Monica for coffee
• Recreational attendees – for listening; for your input & for your questions [yes, you two are two of these!]
• Sponsors – for ideas around relevant & interesting projects; thank you for engaging our students
• Soon to be grads – for your innovative and insightful investigations into project ideas and your support of others. Stay in touch. All the best in your careers!!

Thank you both, Bob Maher and Edward Wedler, for your history and all that you continue to do “with our students in mind”. A tenet I’ve pressed for my 20+ years is “flexibility (of learning styles, of backgrounds, of program content) for students”.

Thanks, Dave MacLean, for the additional information. Thanks too, to the award sponsors.
