      Prix Summa - Carrière 2016
      Université Laval
      Jan 2016
      Depuis maintenant plus de 10 ans, la direction de la Faculté des sciences et de génie rend hommage à des membres de la communauté facultaire dont les réalisations sont remarquables. Les prix Summa visent à reconnaître publiquement la réussite professionnelle de diplômés, de professeurs et de membres du personnel qui se sont distingués. Inspiré de la lettre grecque sigma, le prix Summa a été nommé en vertu de la symbolique de la «somme des sciences et de génie», représentative de la Faculté. De «somme» à «summa» le passage est d’autant plus facile que «summa» évoque également le sommet, l’excellence.
