2021 Awards of Excellence

On Friday, April 30, 2021, the Department of Geography, Geomatics and Environment community came together to celebrate the accomplishments of our students, encompassing the past two academic years. This was very important to us, especially given the challenges many faced this past year. We're excited to honor these students who have distinguished themselves in the areas of academics, research, and leadership. It has not been easy, but they made it through with success, and we are proud to celebrate their achievements!
