Essay prize established to honour Dr. Janet Hyer

The Centre for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (CERES) is pleased to announce the establishment of a prize in memory of a beloved colleague and friend, Dr. Janet Hyer, who passed away earlier this year. The cash prize of $500 will be awarded annually to a second-year CERES MA candidate for exceptional achievement in completing the program’s required Major Research Paper.

The prize honours Dr. Hyer’s invaluable contributions to CERES (and its predecessor, CREES) as publications editor and program officer for nearly fifteen years.
