I am deeply honoured and grateful to be one of six students to receive the Patricia and Peter Shannon Wilson Undergraduate Research Prize. This Prize is awarded by the University of Toronto Libraries to six individuals per year. It is open to all faculties and campuses of the University of Toronto. The following criteria is from the University of Toronto Libraries' Website:
"The Patricia and Peter Shannon Wilson Undergraduate Research Prize is awarded to current undergraduate students enrolled at the University of Toronto during each academic year.
The purpose of this prize is to showcase and award students’ effective and innovative use of information sources and the development of their understanding of what it means to be information literate in the 21st century.
This prize provides students with an opportunity to reflect on their information-seeking experience, showcase their research beyond the classroom, and promote scholarship excellence at the undergraduate level at University of Toronto."
The monetary value of the award is $1000 but personally, I am more interested in my work being recognized by the University of Toronto. Especially since the topics I researched has either limited or no academic scholarship. I will be entering into the Master of Music Piano Performance and Pedagogy program in September 2024 and this award is an indication that I am on the right track.
