The Prentice Institute

The Prentice Institute for Global Population & Economy is pleased to announce that our Director, Professor Susan McDaniel, FRSC, has been awarded the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.   In a ceremony held at the University of Lethbridge on February 26, 2013, Dr. McDaniel was honoured to receive her award from Professor Yolande Grisé, President of The Royal Society of Canada, and the Society’s Executive Director, Darren Gilmour, as well as from the senior administration at the University of Lethbridge, notably Andrew Hakin and Daniel Weeks. This is the first time ever that a President of the Royal Society has visited the University of Lethbridge.  Susan was nominated by the Royal Society which received large numbers of nominations, all of which were peered reviewed by Fellows of the Royal Society.  This award is given in recognition for Susan’s outstanding contributions to Canada and the world through her research, publications and service to society, public policy and to the Royal Society of Canada, where she has selflessly given her time and talents. We are privileged, as stated by Madame Grisé, to have Susan as part of our community, both here at the University of Lethbridge and at the helm of The Prentice Institute.
