This week, the University of Alberta is celebrating the J. Gordin Kaplan Award recipients, new accreditation for the Faculty of Arts, and… the world’s smallest Oilers’ logo? Well, alright — like goaltender interference, we’ll allow it. Congrats to the following:
• Stan Boutin, Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science — received the J. Gordin Kaplan Award for Excellence in Research (Sciences/Engineering), the most prestigious University of Alberta research award
• John Considine, Professor, Department of English and Film Studies, Faculty of Arts — received the J. Gordin Kaplan Award for Excellence in Research (Humanities/Social Sciences/Law/ Education/Fine Arts), the most prestigious University of Alberta research award
• Faculty of Arts — received new, national-level accreditation with the Canadian Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE) for its Arts Work Experience Co-op Program
• nanoFAB Centre — created the smallest-ever NHL logo — an Oilers logo so tiny, you could fit 900 million of them on top of a puck
