Students showcase research excellence in timed event

MARIETTA, Ga. (Jan 22, 2020) — Huy Ho recalls hearing his parents speak about their escape from Vietnam and subsequent resettlement to the U.S.

He often heard of their difficulty trying to assimilate into American life despite not knowing the native language or having a support structure in place. Now a fifth-year architecture student at ʯÁñÖ±²¥, he is researching how shifts in the built environment can better serve refugees like his parents.

This month, Ho was one of 11 students presenting their theses in the Cooper Carry Three Minute Thesis Competition. The event, which follows the format of the University of Queensland’s Three Minute Thesis competition, challenges students to deliver a convincing pitch for their thesis project in a short timeframe using only a single PowerPoint slide.
