College honours
top scholars

Academic excellence remains
a cornerstone of College life
and when select individuals truly

rise above, their efforts deserve

recognition and financial support.

In 2003-04, the following

eight Junior Fellows earned
affiliated University Graduate
Fellowships: Tara Barnett (Asian
Studies), Francesco Brardinoni
(Geography), Donna Dykeman
(Metals and Materials Engineer-
ing), Eric Escobar (Chemistry),
Amit Hagar (Philosophy),
Robert McMillan (History),
Farzad Moien Afshari (Pharma-
cology and Therapeutics),

and Dorothy Chua (Sociology).
Due to recent changes to the
Fellowship competition regula-
tions, residents of the College
are only eligible for these

awards after one year of graduate
Studies at UBC.

The Johannean Educational
Foundation also bestowed hon-
ours upon College residents

in the past year. The Foundation
provides scholarships for rela-
tives of Johanneans who are
studying at UBC and reside in

St. John’s College. Junior Fellows
who have received these awards
include: Jingwei Xu (Commerce,
January 2002 to December 2003),
Chao Wang (Asia Pacific Policy
Studies and Law, September
2001 to present), Hongtao

Yuan (Commerce, July 2003 to
present) and Jian Lu (Commerce,
August 2003 to October 2004).

Congratulations to all the

award winners!

With sincere appreciation
St. John’s extends thanks to College supporters

St. John’s College would like to
take this opportunity to thank all
those individuals who have
supported the College with dona-
tions over the past year,
particularly those who responded
to the fundraising campaign for
our Academic Endowment Fund.
This Fund supports a variety of aca-
demic programming at St. John’s,
including seminars, colloquia, and
visiting lecturers.

We extend our sincere thanks to the
following individuals—the College
would not be the same without you!
