I am proud to announce the University of Alberta’s 2023 Killam Laureates.
This year, we have the privilege of welcoming a remarkable cohort of twenty six doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows and professors into the circle of Killam endowment recipients.The impact they have had on our campuses and the broader community is a testament to their dedication and expertise. Their outstanding contributions to teaching, research and creative endeavors have left an indelible mark on our university and I wish them well in the accomplishments that lie ahead.
The Killam awards recognize stellar academic achievement, leadership and extraordinary success in teaching and research. I am grateful to the Killam trustees for stewarding these important trusts, which further learning, creativity and research for both the U of A and its Killam laureates.
