2024 CEPS Student Awards

On November 14, the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS) celebrated the achievements of our students with an awards reception and recognition of the philanthropic contributions from friends of CEPS and the University of Guelph. These generous contributions help provide pathways for accessible education through undergraduate scholarships. 

This year’s CEPS Undergraduate Awards Reception took place in the Waasamowin Atrium of the Summerlee Science Complex. The event was attended by over 70 people, who commended the the 28 undergraduate students who each received awards for academic accomplishments, community engagement, equity, diversity and inclusion, leadership, innovation, and volunteerism.   

Dr. Moncef Nehdi, Dean, and Dr. Leonid Brown, Acting Associate Dean (Academic) provided welcoming remarks and the awards presentation. 

“It is one of the highlights of the semester to come together and celebrate our exceptional undergraduate students,” says Brown. “The recipients’ impressive energy resonated throughout the evening, and we wish them well as they continue their studies!”

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 2024 winners!
