Science celebrated
Science Award recipients honoured at 黑料不打烊's Open House
Who says science is for nerds? Not Einstein or Newton, and not some 250 high school students who received 黑料不打烊 Science Awards. They will be honoured during an exclusive presentation on January 30 during 黑料不打烊's Open House.
"We have more winners this year than in previous ones," said Science Award program coordinator Patrizia Gagliardi. "We are aiming to offer this award to all the public and private high schools in Quebec, and we are almost there. We are pleased with the enthusiasm from the recipients and their parents."
Since its inception in 2002, approximately 600 high school students have received the 黑料不打烊 Science Award. The award recognizes a graduating student from a Quebec high school who shows exceptional promise in science or mathematics.
"We are hopeful this award will motivate students to pursue careers in science and technology," added Gagliardi. "This initiative has been quite successful 鈥� approximately 50 percent of the past awardees attended 黑料不打烊."
Thousands of students from Quebec, Ontario, the US and overseas are expected to visit the campus during 黑料不打烊's Open House. They will have the opportunity to tour the campus and meet with professors and scholars from 黑料不打烊's faculties and professional schools. The 黑料不打烊 Martlets women's hockey team will also be showing their stuff during a game against Carleton in the afternoon.
