Governor General\u2019s Gold Medals for highest academic standing at the graduate level will go to two recipients: Rebecca Anderson (left)<\/STRONG>, who earned a PhD in chemistry from the Faculty of Science & Engineering in 2005, and Elizabeth Piper, who completed a PhD in history in 2005 from the Faculty of Arts. (Piper recently won the 2006 Rachel Carson Prize for Best Dissertation in Environmental History from the American Society for Environmental History.)<\/P>
\n

Three undergraduate students will receive Governor General\u2019s Silver Medals, awarded for highest distinction in scholarship. This year\u2019s recipients are Michael Hartman, who graduated in 2005 with a BA in psychology from the Faculty of Arts; David Horovitz, who graduates this year with a BSc in biology from the Faculty of Science & Engineering; and Evelyne Kostanska, who graduated in 2005 with a BA in women\u2019s studies from the Faculty of Arts.<\/P>

This year\u2019s recipient of the Murray G. Ross Award is Fran\u00e7oise Guigne, who graduates with a BA in anthropology from the Faculty of Arts. The award was established by the student council in 1962 in honour of York\u2019s first president and is awarded for scholarship and outstanding contributions to undergraduate student life. <\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
