Three PhD alumni receive Governor General’s Gold Medal
Former University of Toronto graduate students Karl Manis, Chido Muchemwa and Tatiana Ruiz-Bedoya have received the 2024 Governor General’s Gold Medal in recognition of academic excellence at the graduate level. The gold medal, awarded each year to three U of T students determined to have the highest academic standing, is one of the most prestigious honours reserved for graduate students in Canada. Candidates are evaluated based on their performance in degree courses, the merit of their thesis and its defense, and the originality and importance of their research.
