Partners from the Fall 2022 – Winter 2023 cohort participating in the rapid reflections (virtual presentations) will be given a max of 5 minutes to present and you will be limited to one slide. There is  a folder on the SPP Teams page  where you can submit your slide on or before April 7th and we will create a slide deck so no one has to worry about sharing their screens or prolonged transitions between presentations! There will be ample time built into the event for questions and socializing.

Please email  mi_sap@mcmaster.ca or any member of the SPP team if you have any questions.
