On behalf of BBCS Executive, I want to thank Doug Mewhort, who organized and chaired the selection committee, and Ray Klein, Bill Hockley, Bruce Milliken, Simon Grondin, Ron Weisman, Jamie Campbell, and Angelo Santi, who assisted Doug in the difficult job of selecting the winners.

The BBCS executive and the section committee would like to congratulate all the students who prsented their work at the Cambridge meeting. We are pleased (and a little overwhelmed) by the sheer number (45) of excellent research projects reported by our students at Cambridge. If this is any indication, we are confident that the next generation of Canadian experimental psychologists is in very good shape.

Past President, BBCS
