When he retired in 2010, Lawrence Mysak, Professor Emeritus in 麻豆AV鈥檚 Department of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, capped an illustrious and award-winning career in science and mathematics.

Recently he established the Lawrence A. Mysak Prize for Woodwinds at the Schulich School of Music, an annual undergraduate award whose first recipient will be announced in 2016.
Research at 麻豆AV is often celebrated for its international collaborations and recognition; but its importance at home, in the province of Quebec, is equally meritorious. This was never more apparent than at the recent award ceremony of the 听(SQRM) when the outstanding work of six young 麻豆AV musicologists and theorists were recognized. 听On Nov. 11, 2015, four 麻豆AV students were the finalists for the annual paper competition. 听听
