CIC Toronto’s annual Student Awards Night took place on January 23, 2018 at York University. Student Awards Night honours the academic achievements of post-secondary students from colleges and universities across Toronto and the GTA. A Silver Medal is awarded to students who have displayed outstanding academic merit by achieving the highest GPA in their respective program. A Book Prize is awarded to students who have shown significant improvement in their field of study. Our night began with an opening address from CIC’s Career Development Leader Dr. Laura Reyes. Laura informed our guests about the CIC, membership opportunities, and the benefits associated with becoming a member. Our chair, Molly Sung then gave welcoming remarks before introducing the guest lecturer, Professor Ruth A. Ross from the University of Toronto. Ruth gave an enlightening talk entitled Cannabis: Mixed Messages in which she discussed the pharmacology of cannabis use in addition to some of the leading scientific research on the benefits and risks associated with medicinal and recreational usage. Award presentations followed with Molly announcing and congratulating our winners, and Laura presenting their awards. Our night concluded with refreshments and networking. The CIC Toronto section would like to extend our congratulations to all of the award winners and a very special thank you to Prof. Ruth Ross for her fantastic lecture and Dr. Chris Caputo for his efforts in helping organize the event!
