Awarded to an outstanding graduate student entering or proceeding in the PhD or MPPA program in the School of Public Policy and Administration at Carleton University. Endowed 2008 by friends of G. Bruce Doern. The award is named after Bruce Doern, one of the School’s Emeritus Professors. Bruce was, and remains, one of the most productive, giving and insightful members of the School’s faculty. His long career involved too many publications to itemize, all of which were centrally interested in practical questions of Canadian public policy. When he retired from the School, the award was established to recognize and celebrate all that he did in his time with us. We are always so pleased to see the award serve to help our current students and celebrate their excellence.
