Fridays at the Airport 1 - I spent some time sketching at DTW (Detroit Metro Airport) this Friday using the new Destination Pass program, which allows visitors to access the gates without a ticket! by @finley.thesis

Now presenting… graphics from my Benchmark 01 presentation! ✏️

The goal of Benchmark 01 is for candidates to formally present their thesis topic to the entire cohort of graduate students and faculty advisors. Candidates are expected to provide background research and current understandings as well as methods and explorations pursued so far.

I enjoyed this opportunity to gather my work and strategize next steps for my thesis with my peers and advisors! by @finley.thesis

FAQs:
- No, you will not be flying as part of this experiment!
- Carpooling from Windsor will be available if you do not have available transportation to get to the airport!
- Participants will be rewarded with a $10 gift card or 1 dozen chocolate chip cookies, whichever they prefer!
