Fifteen students have been named Wesbrook Scholars, an honorary designation
for outstanding achievement among undergraduates.
Awarded annually, the honour is reserved for a maximum of 20 students who
are nominated by their faculty or school and selected by a committee. The students
receive a certificate, a memento, and the designation appears on their permanent
academic record.
Candidates must have completed at least one Winter Session at UBC, be in their
penultimate or final year of undergraduate studies or in the MD or DDS programs,
stand in the top 10 per cent of their faculty or school, and demonstrate the
ability to serve, work with and lead others.
The awards are sponsored by the Wesbrook Society, an organization of the university’s
major benefactors.

Veronica Bergeron, Medicine; Alix Bunyan, Arts; Stephanie
Chan, Law; Samuel Chow, Science; Michael Edwards, Education;
