Vassa Reentova of the University of Calgary is one of six
outstanding Canadian engineering students awarded last month
by the Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation. With its
annual awards, the CEMF honours the memory of the 14 women
slain Dec. 6, 1989, at the École Polytechnique.
Ms. Reentova received a $5,000 undergraduate scholarship,
during a special luncheon in Charlottetown, P.E.I., during
the Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Council of Professional
Engineers.
Also receiving a $5,000 undergraduate scholarship were Bernice
Chan of Mississauga, Ont., University of Waterloo; Stacy
MacDonald of Lake Echo, N.S., Unversity College of Cape Breton;
Jessa Tang of Thunder Bay, Ont., Simon Fraser University;
and Véronic Tétreault of Boucherville, Que., École
Polytechnique.
“
Each of these young women has strong leadership abilities
and gives her free time to varied extracurricular and volunteer
activities,” says a CEMF news release. “The foundation
believes they are the future leaders in engineering.”
Monica Danon-Schaeffer of West Vancouver, B.C., received
the $15,000 Claudette MacKay-Lassonde Graduate Scholarship
Award. She’s completing her PhD in chemical and biological
engineering at the University of British Columbia.
“
As in past years, the 2004 recipients are all remarkable
people, who have long lists of accomplishments and abilities,” said
CEMF President Suzelle Barrington. “The foundation
is proud to present each of them with these well-deserved
scholarships.”
