The Dean of Science Award is given in recognition of outstanding performance in the Master of Science program. One certificate will normally be awarded annually to a master’s student from each department in the Science faculty in recognition of creative research as presented in the student’s thesis.

Update June 18, 2010: Jonathan received his award from Terry McMahon, Dean of Science, at a special lunch held at the University Club this week.
