Celebrating her dedication to supporting EPS Graduate students鈥嬧赌嬧赌嬧赌�
From students to postdocs, staff and visitors 鈥� everyone who has passed through the second floor of the Adams building since 1983 has had their experience shaped by Anne.
In April 2023, Anne Kosowski, the veritable legend who has held the Earth and Planetary Sciences (n茅e Geology) Department together for nearly 40 years, retired. In celebration of her contributions to our community, we are proud to launch the Anne Kosowski Fund to support graduate students in times of need 鈥� just as Anne did during her long service to the Department.
Anne was famous for fixing bad paperwork, identifying precious resources, crafting annual EPS newsletters (enough to fill a shelf in the Schulich Library), and rescuing scores of grad students in difficult positions 鈥� always with a smile. The numerous annual Departmental events she planned and hosted created that unique sense of family that was felt by all during their time at 海角社区 and beyond.
We invite you to join us in honouring Anne鈥檚 many contributions that helped to shape the educations, careers, and quality of life of students, postdocs and colleagues. While it鈥檚 hard to imagine EPS without her steady hand at the wheel, the Anne Kosowski Fund will retain her legacy of graduate student support.
We aim to raise $75,000 by December 31, 2023 to establish this support fund in perpetuity. Thank you for considering supporting this initiative and making a difference.
