Luna Kawano, BKI'22 is the recipient of the Academic Achievement Award for the Bachelor of Knowledge Integration (BKI) graduating class of 2022 in recognition of academic excellence.

Here's what Luna said:

“To be completely honest, I was not expecting to receive this award. Although I have been heavily involved on and beyond campus, I have not been super involved academically. I did not realize I had a Dean’s Honours Average until I got the email suggesting I apply. I guess I bring this up because it connects to the greatest lesson I learned in KI – learning is FUN.

KI professor Rob Gorbet recently had some interesting experiences during his time in New Brunswick:

Fourth volume of JIRR published

The Journal of Integrative Research & Reflection (JIRR) is a student-run, peer-reviewed undergraduate academic journal. Hosted by the Department of Knowledge Integration at the University of Waterloo, JIRR aims to provide a venue for cross-disciplinary work done by undergrad students---be it applied research which employs multiple ways of knowing, creative projects that disrupt disciplinary boundaries, or theoretical work on cross-disciplinarity in undergraduate education.

We are pleased to announce that Eric Kennedy (BKI'12), is the 2021 Faculty of Environment Young Alumni Inspiration Award recipient. This award was established in 2013 to celebrate alumni who graduated less than 10 years ago and whose early professional or academic success, contribution to the community and contribution to sustainability inspire the next generation of environment graduates.
