Recipient feedback

This award has come as a very welcome surprise at the end of a memorable year. The completion of this thesis was both challenging and rewarding, while the experience as a whole has been essential to my growth as a scholar and my own personal development. Thus, I cannot truly begin to express how grateful I am to have my effort validated by such a distinction.
