This award, established by her colleagues in the Department of Biology in memory of Dr. Marilyn Griffith, is presented annually to recognize outstanding performance by an undergraduate student in a senior honours research project. During her distinguished career, Dr. Griffith researched how plants cope with cold temperature stress and at the time of her death, she was one of the world’s leading authorities in this area.
