Congratulations to John Cusbert for being awarded the J.G. Crawford prize for 2013.

“Those graduate students most deserving of recognition for the quality of their graduate work are selected on the basis of academic excellence by a committee appointed by the Vice-Chancellor. Two prizes are available for award to PhD students who have been approved to the degree during the preceding calendar year, normally one for the natural sciences and one for social sciences/humanities.”
