A celebration to honour graduate student accomplishments and to thank those who have contributed to student awards took place on October 27 at a luncheon at Hart House.
 
Master of Architecture, Master of Landscape Architecture, Master of Urban Design, and Master of Visual Studies students who received in-course awards and admissions awards were invited to meet the donors who have helped support their academic development. And the donors were able to meet the students who have benefited from their generosity.

Students Karima Peermohammad (MArch 3) and Devin Tepleski (MLA 1) spoke passionately on behalf of the student body about the value of their programs and the financial support that they received, which has helped them pursue their academic goals.
 
“You are investing in the opportunities for each and every one of us, to find answers within ourselves.” said Tepleski in his address to the donors. “We will work every day to make our communities better places."

Dean Richard Sommer also spoke to those assembled, thanking the donors for their ongoing contributions.
 
“Your generosity has had a catalytic effect on the prospects of our most talented students by recognizing their achievements and supporting their work,” he said

The Daniels Faculty would like to congratulate those who received awards this year — and express its sincere thanks to those who continue to support students year after year.
