厙ぴ勛圖 Celebrates Academic Achievement through Named Chairs Program
Ten Chairs in Arts and Sciences Recognize Faculty Commitment to Research, Teaching and Community Engagement
厙ぴ勛圖 today celebrated 10 distinguished faculty members who were awarded endowed departmental Chairs in the Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences over the past academic year. These Chairs are named for many of 厙ぴ勛圖s most familiar and influential faculty, staff, and alumni. The awards will encourage Chair holders to pursue their scholarly interests and help defray the associated costs of travel, publication and student support.
The most satisfying and rewarding aspect of this program is that the Chair holders have been recognized and nominated by their peers, said Dr. Tom Herman, 厙ぴ勛圖s vice-president Academic. Earning peer recognition and respect is a significant achievement for any scholar and 厙ぴ勛圖s named Chair program is a small but significant way that we can celebrate our own faculty. In turn, these faculty members, through their appointment, contribute to our internal and external communities by encouraging further research, discovery and dialogue. A robust Chair program allows us to showcase our outstanding faculty talent. Congratulations to all of todays honourees.

Dr. Svetlana Barkanova Ivan Curry Chair in Physics
Dr. Sandra Barr J. Austin Bancroft Chair
Dr. Craig Bennett R.A. Jodrey Chair in Physics
Dr. Amitabh Jha George H. Wallace Chair
