Supporting students throughout their graduate training is an important part in their overall development.  With support to pursue awards, leadership opportunities and getting involved in the CSM Community students gain much needed skills that will transfer directly into the workforce, regardless of industry.  Student success in these same areas helps to improve the understanding and visibility of our programs and in greater scope the University of Calgary.

Recognizing our students for their excellence is important to building an inclusive community within the CSM.  We are proud of what our graduate students have achieved and will continue to support them in pursuing excellence.  Congratulations to all of those who received where recognized.Image removed.
