2019 Awards Night
On November 5, the CEPS community celebrated outstanding undergraduate students.
Each year, the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS) celebrates its high achieving students with an Awards Night that also features CEPS trivia, a reception and an opportunity to recognize philanthropic contributions from friends of CEPS and the University of Guelph. Their generous contributions advance CEPS priorities and help provide pathways for accessible education through scholarships.
The 2019 CEPS Undergraduate Awards Night took place on November 5 in the Summerlee Science Complex Atrium. The event was attended by more than 150 students, faculty, staff, family, alumni and friends, who commended the outstanding achievements of these exceptional undergraduate students as they received their awards.
The College bestowed more than 60 awards this year. Award recognition criteria included academic achievements, community engagement, leadership, innovation and volunteerism.
The awards were presented by Mary Wells (dean), Karen Gordon (associate dean, academic), Minglun Gong (Director, School of Computer Science), John Runciman (Director, School of Engineering), and donors and alumni.
We are delighted to honour the incredible achievements of these students and look forward to supporting their continued success in the College and after graduation. Congratulations to the 2019 winners!
