Waterloo engineers named to new RSC college

Susan Tighe, a civil and environmental engineering professor, and Chris Eliasmith, a systems design engineering and philosophy professor, are among the inaugural 91 members of the Royal Society of Canada's College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists. 
Together, the members of the College will address issues of particular concern to new scholars, artists and scientists, for the advancement of understanding and the benefit of society, taking advantage of the interdisciplinary approaches fostered by the establishment of the College.

"Great tour of Sedra Student Design Centre at @UWaterloo. Keep up the amazing work," Trudeau tweeted after his visit.

Feridun Hamdullahpur, president and vice-chancellor of the University of Waterloo, read the following statement to a news conference earlier today:

"It is with deep regret that we have confirmed the death of a member of our campus community and student body, who was struck by lightning this morning during an unexpected storm, and died of her injuries."

"The family of the deceased student have requested privacy, and have asked that we not release the student’s name."
