A very involved and knowledgeable group of 44 talented minds from all over Ontario and Quebec spent a week at our Summer Math Camp. Organized since 2000, the camp’s goals is to expose high school students to the various fields of study to which they can apply their math skills.

The Fellows Program was instituted to recognize mathematicians who have made very significant contributions to the profession and to the Canadian Mathematical Society. It recognizes CMS members who have contributed to mathematical research, teaching, or exposition; as well as having distinguished themselves in serve to Canada’s mathematical community.

Several researchers received funding through a new tri-council program, New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF). The new funding program designed to support risky interdisciplinary research will support various projects.

Our graduate student, Jane MacDonald, is the recipient of 2019 Excellence Award for Teaching Assistants from the Teaching and Learning Support Service (TLSS). The award aims to value the work of Teaching Assistants and their remarkable contribution in the classrooms. This annual program gives out an Excellence Award in three categories: Science, Humanities and Online Course. Congratulations to Jane!
