We are happy to share that Joy Karinge, PhD Anthropology student, has been selected as a recipient in the 2025–2026 cohort of the Flight 302 Legacy Award!

About the award:

On March 10, 2019, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed near Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, claiming the lives of all 157 people aboard. Victims represented 35 nationalities, including 18 Canadian citizens, as well as permanent residents and others with ties to Canada. The flight was en route to Nairobi, where many of the passengers were scheduled to take part in the United Nations environmental conference. The Flight 302 Legacy Award contributes to supporting students whose areas of study help commemorate the victims of the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 tragedy.
