Incoming Computer Science Student Earns Lincoln Alexander Chancellor’s Scholarship

The Lincoln Alexander Chancellor’s Scholarship, given to one student this year, is named after the former U of G chancellor and honours the community and leadership achievements of students who are Indigenous, racialized or live with disabilities.

This year, incoming computer science student, Mercy Awosoga is the recipient of the Lincoln Alexander Scholarship. Awosoga was the Alberta provincial champion in triple jump for two years and served as captain of the track team while volunteering in musical theatre programs, her church, the food bank and the Athletic Leadership Program. On the iGEM team, she contributed to two peer-reviewed publications and was instrumental in outreach activities and project ideas, proving her versatility and dedication to community engagement.

Congratulations, Mercy!
