Congratulations to PhD student, 脡m茅lie Gagnon, on receiving the Dennis Becker Award from the Canadian Geotechnical Society and the Canadian Foundation for Geotechnique (CFG). The award was presented to Emelie during the GeoSaskatoon 2023 conference.
According to the CFG website,
"The CFG Dennis Becker Award is presented annually to a Master鈥檚 degree candidate or recent graduate (within the last 12 months at the time of nomination) registered in a program directly related to an identified field of geotechnique. The award is granted primarily based on academic excellence, the purpose and relevance of the research project to the practice of geotechnique, and the quality of the research summary. Students who have displayed activity in volunteer or leadership roles in geotechnique will receive special consideration. The nominations are submitted by the graduate student with an attached letter of support by their research supervisor, and the awardee is selected by the Canadian Geotechnical Society Awards Committee. The scholarship was initiated in 2019 in recognition of Dr. Becker鈥檚 significant and valuable contributions to the Society and to the Geotechnical profession and is valued at $ 5,000."
Congratulations, 脡m茅lie!
