Gord Dunkley

Gord Dunkley touched the lives of hundreds of Computer Science students.

In his role as student support co-ordinator, he served as adviser, liaison and confidante for students as they navigated their way through the rules and regulations toward their degrees. Many indicated that they would not have been successful without his help.

The University was saddened to hear of his passing on Feb. 2. He was 64.

In honor of his service to the Computer Science student population, the Department of Computer Science has renamed the Computer Science Entrance Award as the Gord Dunkley Computer Science Entrance Award.

The inaugural award will be given this spring to an incoming Computer Science student on the basis of academic merit, financial need and Ontario residency.
