Re: 2024 Recipients of the School of Graduate Studies’ Supervision Awards


Every year, the School of Graduate Studies’ Supervision Awards aim to recognize the tremendous thought and effort that go into graduate supervision and mentorship.

The annual awards honour active faculty members who, over a minimum of a 15-year period (JJ Berry Smith Doctoral Supervision Award) or a period of up to six years (SGS Early Career Supervision Award), have demonstrated excellence in the multiple roles associated with graduate supervision and mentorship.

Two JJ Berry Smith Doctoral Supervision Awards and two SGS Early Career Supervision Awards are offered annually to successful nominees: one of each award in the Humanities/Social Sciences and in the Physical/Life Sciences.

I am delighted to present to you the recipients of the 2024 awards.
