Convocation is one of the most celebratory times of year at AV¾ãÀÖ²¿. Not only is it a time to celebrate the accomplishments of our students, it’s also a time to recognize individuals who have demonstrated service to their community and made significant progress in their fields. During this year’s spring convocation ceremonies, AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ will present honorary degrees to two extraordinary individuals.

In addition to food, marine cells also transport a dubious cargo into the deep Arctic sea: microplastics.

Researchers at AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ have developed a cost-effective device that can collect, filter and preserve water samples and can be deployed by one person.

AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ Engineering students designed and built a tubular launching device that will shoot an inflatable life-jacket to a victim within that critical initial 60 seconds after they fall in water.

AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ congratulates graduates Caleigh Wong (Dipl/BA’22) and Chantel Findlay (BSc’21) for being among 20 Canadian recipients of the McCall MacBain Scholarships, the country’s first comprehensive leadership-based scholarship for master’s and professional studies.

AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ chemist Dr. Mark Stradiotto was announced today as a winner of the Governor General’s Innovation Award.

With $5 million in funding from the Canadian Cancer Society, a team of AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ researchers will use state-of-the-art technology and patient experience to identify biological markers of risk related to arsenic, radon and air pollution.
