School of Computer Science student, Marshall Asch, has been recently named to the College of Engineering & Physical Sciences Society of Excellence. The honour is awarded to students who show outstanding academic excellence, and who have made outstanding contributions to the community (on or off campus).
During his undergraduate degree, Marshall:
Dr. Gary Grewal, Associate Professor from the School of Computer Science, has been awarded the University of Guelph Faculty Association's Distinguished Professor Award for Excellence in Teaching.
School of Computer Science graduate student, Nic Durish, has been listed as a finalist for the Guelph Chamber of Commerce Awards of Excellence.
Nic returned to the University of Guelph in September 2017 to begin a Master's degree in Computer Science. As part of his Master's program, Nic has been working with Inuit and non-Inuit researchers to develop the community-led eNuk health and environment monitoring application for the remote Inuit community of Rigolet, Nunatsiavut. He's also working to better understand and quantify the digital divide in the Circumpolar North.
Two of our fantastic Computing students, Frazer Seymour and Nic Durish, have both been given a Northern Scientific Training Program (NSTP) award in order to help support the work and research that they have been assisting Dr. Dan Gillis with the eNuk project in Rigolet, Labrador. These awards are funded by the Canadian Government, and are to encourage and support Canadian university students who have an interest in northern studies or conducting research in Northern regions.
