Four Students from the Faculty of Arts Recipients of Vanier Scholarships

This August, four graduate students in the Arts faculty received the Vanier Graduate scholarships, providing each $50,000 to pursue their research passions within the Arts fields. As well as highlighting these students' hard work, we see the importance of Arts on a larger scale. Primarily its importance in Academia and its economic, social and research contributions nationally. These individuals display how the faculty of Arts can make a larger impact in multiple fields of study, for example the Vanier scholars fast from the field of Psychology to religious studies. The four winners are:
