Dear Colleagues,
On May 12, 2012, the University of Toronto will be joining universities, colleges and community organizations across the country to participate in the 5th annual Science Rendezvous event.
Started in 2008 as the brainchild of a University of Toronto professor, Science Rendezvous is a free one-day public science festival. Similar to cultural events such as Nuit Blanche and Luminato, which raise awareness and public accessibility to the arts and humanities, Science Rendezvous is a vehicle to engage children and their families and raise awareness about the research that is done at our universities and opportunities for careers in science.
Many of our departments have been strong supporters of Science Rendezvous since its inception, and I thank you for all your contributions. This year, I want to encourage all science, engineering, medicine and related departments to participate in the event, which provides a wonderful opportunity to engage and educate the public about the work that is being done in your department or division.
Should you have any more questions with regards to Science Rendezvous at the University of Toronto, please visit their website at http://sr.escalator.utoronto.ca/ and contact Nathan Ho (Nathan.ho@mail.utoronto.ca) who is the site director for UofT this year, to sign up.
Please let your friends and family know about Science Rendezvous – it’s a wonderful, free event for families, with locations across the GTA and across the country – see www.sciencerendezvous.com.
Thank you for your attention, and I know that with your help, this year’s Science Rendezvous event will be the most successful yet.
Best wishes
Paul
