Without the people around me, I would never have been able to achieve what I did. Carleton University is a vibrant community where we are constantly challenging each other&#8217;s ideas, sharing funny moments, lending a helping hand and pushing each other to grow and excel. I am constantly inspired by the work of my peers in all fields and their involvement in various areas of the Carleton community beyond academics. I have had wonderful professors who always have an open door and a listening ear and I have always been amazed by the extent to which staff at Carleton are willing to go to help students. I feel incredibly privileged to have been a part of this community. Beyond the classroom, I have benefitted from the great intramurals program and the multitude of events on campus, such as the Farmer&#8217;s Market and Darwin Week.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Velian Pandeliev, currently working on a Master&#8217;s in Computer Science at the University of Toronto, won a Senate Medal for his work as a B.A. student in Cognitive Science (Cognition and Computational Stream).
