We would like to showcase our students' exceptional achievements, which reflect their dedication and hard work throughout their undergraduate career. Over the years, our students have had their research featured in news articles, participated in forensic science and police conferences, and have worked extensively in the community to bring about positive change, all while completing their undergraduate degree. Here are the highlights.
Annual Forensic Science Award Recipients
| Fingerprints and Ferrotrace: Students showcase forensic researchThis year, 16 UTM students presented their findings. The audience included scene of crime officers, scientists, forensic identification officers, and even Robert Ramotowski, Chief Research Scientist of the United States Secret Service. Knaap says Ramotowski was impressed at the high quality of the students’ work. |
| Principal's Involvement Award 2012Jessica Lam and Sharon Ling, graduating students of the forensic science program, receive the Principal's Involvement Award. In order to be awarded this honour, undergraduate students must have high academic standing and contribute to the community in an impactful and meaningful way. |
| Watch out: Halton police have an eye in the skyThe program began as a research project in partnership with the University of Toronto’s forensic sciences program. Banks said a student [Yunhao (Lucy) Wu], through the mentorship program, donated 200 hours of service and did a paper and presentation on the viability of the mini helicopter. |
| Forensics students dig into real-world researchWhoever said university life can be boring did not make it to U of T Mississauga's Annual Forensic Science Day (FSD), which was celebrated April 6 in the Matthews Auditorium of the Kaneff Building. |
Horsing around with forensicsWhen people think forensics they usually think of CSI: Miami, not horses. But Hannah Pryce, a student in the forensics program at University of Toronto Mississauga, spent her internship experience within the office of the Toronto Police Service Mounted Unit (TPSMU). Internship courses like this are a unique experiential learning opportunity available at U of T Mississauga. |
