Cheriton award winners for Winter 2013

By
I am pleased to announce, on behalf of the Grad Committee's Scholarship Sub-committee, the winners of the very selective Type 1 Cheriton Awards for Fall 2012.

Award winners typically receive $10,000 a year for two years and represent our top students judged on the basis of scholastic excellence.  This years winners have excellent research proposals, demonstrated good progress towards their Comp 1 and Comp 2 milestones, obtained uniformly high grades in their graduate courses, and established a pattern of excellence both in terms of publication quality and publication venues, all backed up by exceptionally strong letters of reference.

My congratulations to the following winners:
