Established in memory of James Alfred (Jim) Bennett, B.Sc.(Eng) 1958, M.Sc.(Eng) 1960, Ph.D. 1965 Philosophy (Univ. of Michigan), by his family, friends, students, colleagues, and the Rotary Clubs of Kingston.
This award was created because of Jim's long and cherished association with Queen's and particularly with the students. He always helped students and we wanted that help to continue. Because of Jim's community involvement as well, we felt that the beneficiary of this award should be a student involved both at Queen's and in the community.
