Abstract

University of Regina Chancellor Dr. Jim Tomkins is being honoured by Purdue University in Indiana, where he earned his PhD in 1970. Tomkins is one of nine Distinguished Science Alumni Award winners at Purdue this year. He is the first Canadian of 211 people to be so honoured. “Well, surprise was the first reaction – and humility,” says Dr. Tomkins. “It's been 45 years since I graduated and I certainly wasn't expecting this award. Being the first Canadian makes the award even more humbling. Purdue has many unrecognized distinguished alumni to choose from. It feels nice to be remembered!”
