Well, dip me in mango ice cream (my favourite): I’ve just learned my PhD dissertation has been nominated for a Dean of Graduate Studies Convocation Medal at SFU, within the Faculty of Education. Evidently, each faculty holds this competition each year, with award winners also eligible to compete for a ‘Governor General’s Gold Medal.’

It’s all a little ‘glittery’ to me but I’m humbled to be nominated for the award. Further announcements about this will be forthcoming this spring, I’m told. Fingers are now crossed.
