Stan Rowe Home Place Memorial Fund

In March 2006, the CCEA Board established a scholarship fund to honour Dr. Stan Rowe’s memory and life’s work. Dr. Rowe, a founding member of CCEA, was a professor at the University of Saskatchewan who inspired many individuals to pursue a career in ecology. The fund will be known as the Dr. Stan Rowe Home Place Memorial Fund.

Once sufficient funds have been collected ($20,000 is the initial target), CCEA will annually provide a cash award, The Stan Rowe Home Place Graduate Award, from the fund’s annual earnings to a graduate student studying in Canada and engaged in a research project that is directly related to CCEA’s Mission. The cash award will be augmented by CCEA providing support to the student to:

• present their work at a CCEA conference or workshop,
• promote their work in newsletters, and
• publish their work as a CCEA Occasional Paper.

If sufficient funds are available, CCEA may annually sponsor a public lecture at the University of Saskatchewan or other academic institution.

CCEA has established an advisory committee consisting of Peter Jonker (a colleague of Dr. Rowe at the University of Saskatchewan), and Dr. Rob Wright (Forest Ecologist with Saskatchewan Environment and a former student of Dr. Rowe) and John Vandall, CCEA Treasurer. The Advisory Committee is responsible to assist the CCEA Board with promoting the award, soliciting support and funds from academia, NGO’s, industry and individuals, determining the award criteria and reviewing nominations/applications.
