Chris Kennedy and Isabelle Côté earn Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Awards for Excellence!
We're thrilled to announce that both Chris Kennedy and Isabelle Côté have received 2022 Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Award for Excellence, for graduate supervision. Highly deserved awards!
SFU professor, Dr. Chris Kennedy, joined SFU in 1991 and has coordinated the Biological Science’s Master’s of Environmental Toxicology (MET) since 2007, serving as the primary supervisor for the majority of master’s and doctoral students admitted to the program. Kennedy has a long history with SFU, having completed both his BSc in Biological Sciences and PhD in Environmental Toxicology here; he spent three years with the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at University of Miami as a postdoctoral fellow and research associate before returning to SFU as a tenured professor.
" Dr. Kennedy has been very patient with the changes that have come with COVID and has demonstrated his ability to manage many students with different needs "
MASTER’S OF ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY (MET) CANDIDATE HANNAH JONES
Biological Sciences Professor, Dr. Isabelle Côté began her career at SFU in 2005. Since that time, in addition to training many graduate students, postdocs and honours students, even training some to become scientific divers, Côté has also served on more than 25 graduate student communities throughout BC, Oregon and even in Mexico.
" Most notably, in her time as chair, Isabelle quickly became known as being a safe and trusted authority figure to turn to for advice. Students frequently told me that they had never felt so supported by a faculty member before. Her empathy for graduate students is unrivalled and our department is simply a better place because of it "
