Ann & Geoffrey Power Award

Since 2018, this award at the University of Waterloo has recognized an Honours Biology program student with strong academics combined with a demonstrated interest in the student of vertebrates, their ecology and conservation. The current award is $3,000 each year.

This award was set up by Ann Power, a past president of CFUW K-W, as well as a founding trustee of the CFUW K-W Charitable Fund in 1985. Ann’s husband, Distinguished Professor Emeritus Geoffrey Power, was the first biologist hired at UW. He was the main designer of the original Biology curriculum and a consultant on the design of the first Biology building. He had a distinguished career as an international fisheries biologist and taught at Waterloo for 42 years. Ann, an historian and teacher, accompanied her husband on many of his field trips and also welcomed many generations of Biology graduate students and others into their home.

This fund is supported by the Powers to encourage undergraduates to pursue the study of vertebrates, a keen area of interest for them.
