Congratulations, Hannah!
Congratulations to Hannah for winning a prestigious Canada Graduate Scholarship - Master's (CGS-M) award! I am very proud of Hannah's achievement. And I am looking forward to continuing to guide her Master's thesis, which explores the factors that contribute to a sense of belonging among autistic post-secondary students in Canada and how these factors can aid us in developing supportive, neuro-affirming university campuses.
Congratulations, Léonie!
Congratulations to Léonie Hoveling-Hofmann for successfully completing her Masters in SCCP and winning a prestigious four-year SSRHC doctoral award! Her research on the mathematical ability of autistic youth and understanding the heterogeneity is truly remarkable. Excited to see her embark on her PhD journey, and I am honoured to have the opportunity to guide her along the way!
