Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce that Sara Sealey is the new Awards Assistant replacing Tracy Sobotkiewicz's position effective immediately. Due to the recent staff changes, I've outlined some of the major awards for which we are responsible below for your reference:

Rowena Krentz - Awards Officer

- UMGF

- Tri-Council Scholarships (NSERC, SSHRC and CIHR)

Rosemary Visevic - Awards Assistant

- GETS

- Travel Award

Sara Sealey - Awards Assistant

- IGSES/IGSS

- Awards Selection Forms (Departmental Scholarships)

Each of us is also responsible for other specific awards that are too numerous to outline. Please refer to the Awards Database for the contact person. Note that we are still updating this information on the database. In the event that Marcia and Tracy are noted as contacts, please contact myself and Sara respectively.

We appreciate your patience as we settle in our roles.

Sincerely, Rowena
