Anna Jamieson Award
Established in 2013; Donors: Friends and colleagues of Mrs. Anna Jamieson on the occasion of her retirement from the Institute of Biomedical Engineering
Awarded annually to a graduate student who, in the opinion of the selection committee, made the most significant contribution to the spirit of the Institute and to the well-being of its students. The award is not to be based on academic standing or academic performance
Mrs. Jamieson’s own words provide an elaboration on the terms of the award: “I specifically wish this award to honour, annually, the one student who has made the greatest contribution to maintaining the spirit under which the Institute began to function during its first decade under the guidance of Normal Moody, Llewellyn-Thomas and myself. Our aim during those years was to install in all the students a sense of friendship for each other, an attitude of mutual responsibility and caring for each other’s welfare (including helping newcomers adjust to life in Canada) and support and responsibility for the sense of cooperation and warm camaraderie that has been the particular strength of BME.”
