Canadian Astronomical Society
Student Presentation Awards
To encourage students in their effort toward excellence, in 1996 the Society instituted a prize for the best student presentation at the annual meeting. Originally there were two prizes of $200 each: both awarded by the Board Of Directors. Now there are more prizes. The Board awards pairs of prizes. In each pair one is for the best poster and one is for the best oral presentation. In addition the Graduate Students’ Council (the GSC) awards two such pairs of awards.
