About this Award

Dr. David M. Bishop, during his tenure as Professor at the Department of Chemistry, established this fund in memory of Jean-Louis Roustan. Jean-Louis Roustan was appointed to the Department of Chemistry in 1976 and promoted to Associate Professor in 1980. He died tragically and prematurely in September 1992. He was a unique individual with a vivacious personality which entranced all. His enthusiasm for chemistry made him an inspiring teacher and students in his courses considered themselves privileged.
The donor thanks the Alumni Association of the University of Ottawa and the Government of Ontario for their matching contributions.
