Student Awards

Student Experience Awards honour the achievements and contributions of campus leaders who have made a lasting difference in students’ lives and in campus-community relations.  Each year, the University community is invited to submit nominations for staff, faculty and students who exemplify commitment and contribution to U of G and the greater community.  This year’s Student Experience Awards were celebrated at an in-person event, the first since 2019.

Water Resource Engineering PhD candidate, Cody Kupferschmidt, received the Engineers Canada – Manulife Scholarship. 

Three CEPS students are among the incoming University of Guelph recipients who received top entrance awards for their studies. Biomedical engineering student Sydney Yott received the Lincoln Alexander Chancellor's Scholarship. Biomedical Engineering student Lily Eldon and Biological Engineering student Livia Fleischmann each received President's Scholarships.

Electrochemistry PhD student, Joshua Van Der Zalm, received the best presentation award in the Recent Advances in Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites towards Photocatalysis and Photoelectrocatalysis symposium during the 105^th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition held in Calgary between June 13-17, 2022.

School of Engineering Water Resources Engineering student Emma McNeill is the recipient of the University of Guelph Student Experience Award, Kishaadigeh Award.

This award is presented to a First Nations, Métis or Inuit student who is engaged in co-curricular activities that enrich their educational experience and is achieving well academically. The recipient is also connected in meaningful ways to the larger community, actively encouraging others to become involved and is a role model for other Indigenous learners.

A graduate student in engineering, Hannah May, has received the Golder Scholarship for Indigenous Students in Water award from the Canadian Water Resources Association (CWRA) in the amount of $2,000 CAD. 

"It’s a great honour to receive the 2022 Golder Scholarship for an Indigenous Student in Water from the CWRA.

My graduate studies have involved a lot of time outdoors in the watershed doing hands-on field work. I’m so grateful to have spent this time connecting with the land and curating my relationship to the water.
