The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge's School of Graduate Studies celebrated the achievements of some of its top student researchers at the 10th Annual Celebration of Graduate Students' Research Excellence on Wednesday, Jan. 23.

A total of 33 students were recognized for the outstanding calibre of their research projects, all of which have been granted significant external funding support.

"The evening was a celebration of the excellent research our graduate students continue to be involved in," says School of Graduate Studies Dean, Dr. Robert Wood. "To see major awards from agencies such as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council given to our students, demonstrates the work they are doing is of national importance."

Of the awards being recognized at the celebration was a $35,000 Alexander Graham Bell Graduate Doctoral Scholarship NSERC award to Ashley Moore (Biological Sciences), working under the supervision of Dr. Anthony Russell.

Chenyuan Hu (Mathematics and Computer Science, Dr. Hua Li supervisor), Andriy Bilichak (Biological Sciences, Dr. Igor Kovalchuk supervisor), Farhad Faghihi (Chemistry & Biochemistry, Dr. Paul Hazendonk supervisor) and Aki Matsuoka (Biological Sciences, Dr. Igor Kovalchuk supervisor) all received funding in excess of $30,000 from Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures.

"The level of research our graduate students undertake is exceptional, and these awards reflect not only the commitment from the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ to continue to build its research portfolio, thereby making it a destination university for graduate students, but the commitment of our faculty to actively engage and support graduate student research opportunities," adds Wood.

Graduate Studies offering new part-time programs

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge's School of Graduate Studies is making it easier for students to access their programs, introducing part-time studies in the Master of Arts and Master of Science programs for the Fall 2009 semester.

Part-time studies are being developed to create greater flexibility to allow students to enter an M.A. or M.Sc. program whose circumstances do not allow for full-time studies.

Part-time studies will include a 48-month program, allowing part-time students to complete all required course work in the first 24 months, with subsequent months committed to continued research and production of the thesis.

In keeping with the commitment of the M.A. and M.Sc. programs to offer opportunities for teaching and supervisory experience, part-time students will be granted teaching assistantships for two semesters.

Admission requirements are the same for part-time and full-time studies. For a listing of programs available and the research currently being conducted, visit: http://www.uleth.ca/graduatestudies/future-students
