Cheriton award winners for Winter 2013

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:

GSA SPARK 2020

  GSA SPARK Join us in the fight against SPARK!   In GSA Capital’s boardroom sits SPARK — a decades-old blade server, entombed forever in acrylic to be displayed as a proud reminder of GSA’s journey.   SPARK was an invaluable step toward the sophisticated algorithms in use today, but was retired from active trading and destined never to be booted up again.    But last night, through a series of unfortunate errors, the server was reconnected to GSA’s internal network.
