Here is the Graduate Directorate’s motion to COW: (Hal Whitehead)
There is everidence over many years that graduate students supervised by adjunct professors generally have less satisfactory times in the Biology graduate programme than those supervised internally. We have tried ways to improve the situation but the trend continues. Therefore the Graduate Directorate proprosed the following motion:
“Graduate students supervised by adjunct professors must have a full co-supervisor (who takes shared responsibility for the research programme of the student) from the full-time faculty of the Biology Department.”
Note: Graduate students supervised by faculty in other Dalhousie Units will continue to only need an “internal supervisor” within the Biology Department.

OLD Wording:
Ogden Memorial Prize
The Dr. J.C. Ogden memorial Prize is given to the top student in Limnology (Biology 4068) and honours the late Dr. J.C. (Pete) Ogden, an accomplished limnologist. A long-serving member of the Biology Department, Dr. Ogden contributed significantly to the field of aquatic science. He particularly enjoyed teaching the Limnology class.
NEW Wording:
The Dr. J.G. Ogden Memorial Prize
This prize will be awarded annually to a top 4th year honour student whose research falls within the realm of freshwater ecology, with preference given to those who study freshwater plant ecology. The recipient will be determined during the Cameron Conference poster and oral presentations. In the event that there is more than one student whose research project meets this criterion, overall GPA will be the deciding factor. Should no students meet the requirements, the money will be rolled back into the principal, and no award presented that particular year.
