Petar Hein Award
This award was originally established in 1982 by the faculty and staff of U of T Mississauga (formerly Erindale College) to recognize scholarship in Physics. In 1983, the award name was changed to honour a graduate student who had recently passed away. Petar Hein’s family generously donated to this award and the name was changed in memory of the former student.
