Dorothy Easton is graduating from the SFU Masters in Public Policy Program in 2009 with an award of the Dean of Graduate Studies Convocation Medal for the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. This award reflects her high cumulative grade point average (just a hair shy of a perfect 4.0) plus her outstanding policy research as part of the MPP degree. She investigated "Divorce and the Division of Canada Pension Plan Credits" with original source materials and concrete recommendations for policy reform to make the system fairer and more accessible for both divorcees and their ex-spouses.
