• Established through gifts from the family and friends in memory of the late Roselyne Thompson, Roselyne was working on her PhD in French when she died of cancer in 1993 at the age of 57. A French immersion teacher, she had returned to the University of 51³ÉÈ˸£ÀûÍø on sabbatical to complete her MA and discovered she enjoyed academic life so much that she returned to school full-time. Well-liked and respected by her colleagues, she had a lively and nimble intelligence as well as a strong spirit. She wrote poetry, mostly in French, some of which has been published. Because the intellectual challenge of academic life brought her much joy and satisfaction, her friends and family though it appropriate to commemorate her life with a bursary to assist other women in the pursuit of their dreams of a university degree.
