Best grad paper award goes to education student

(L-R) Peter Eng with Paul Yeung, an SFU education doctoral student and award recipient. Mr. Eng established the award in honour of his late father.

 

 

Education doctoral student, Paul Yeung has received an award for his paper "Tensions and Dilemmas Faced by Canadian and Chinese Immigrant Students in Canadian Schools"

 

The inaugural Paul Tai Yip Ng memorial award recognizes the best SFU graduate student paper, in any discipline, that promotes understanding of cross-cultural activities, particularly as they apply to Canada and Asia Pacific. The award is from an endowment Dr. Eng established within SFU's David Lam Centre for International Communication in honour of his late father.

 

Paul received his M.A. in counseling psychology from SFU in 2005. His thesis examined the psychosocial adjustment of Chinese immigrant children in so-called "satellite families", finding that the children were doing well and had good relationships with their parents despite the geographical distance.
