Join us Tuesday, June 6 at 2 pm in Schurman Market Square of UPEI’s Don and Marion McDougall Hall to celebrate the recipients of the 2017 Katherine Schultz Research Recognition Awards.  The Katherine Schultz Research Recognition Awards were created out of a gift received from Dr. Schultz, UPEI’s first Vice-President Research. Under her tenure from 2001 to 2012, UPEI enjoyed a seven-fold increase in research funding and intensity. The awards go to a UPEIFA member, staff member, or volunteer who has made an outstanding contribution to the research enterprise at UPEI. This year, two recipients have been selected. Leslie Cudmore, research grants coordinator, and Dr. Pedro Quijon, associate professor in the Department of Biology, will be recognized for their work to help promote the community of research and discovery at UPEI.  A small reception will follow.
