SFU FACULTY OF SCIENCE'S CYNTHIA HENSON WINS CREATIVE AWARD FOR SCIENCE RENDEZVOUS AND INTERNATIONAL ASTRONOMY DAY 2023!

Cynthia has been organizing this event, together with several other outreach and engagement initiatives on behalf of SFU Faculty of Science, for almost a decade now. Her consistency in program delivery, attention to relationships, and a well-orchestrated team effort – were crucial to making each Science Rendezvous event, successful. Cynthia firmly believes in the value of community engagement and creative hands-on science learning through fun and engaging events such as Science Rendezvous, among others.

As Manager for Outreach and Engagement at Simon Fraser University, Faculty of Science, Cynthia is supported by the efforts, advice and resources from the SFU Faculty of Science, the Science Dean's Office and the Outreach Advisory Committee; the Science in Action, Trottier Observatory and event volunteers; the staff of the Trottier Observatory and Courtyard and partners such as SFU, the City of Burnaby and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (Vancouver).
