The Department of Earth Oceans and Atmospheric Sciences is delighted to congratulate our very own Geological Engineering student, Ryan Mitchell, on being named a Wesbrook Scholar. In addition to being named a Wesbrook Scholar, Ryan has received the Carl Bradford Robertson Scholarship, totaling $17,600, in recognition of his outstanding academic standing and commitments to leadership and community involvement. This is the highest award sum offered to Wesbrook Scholars and is only made available to four students each year. Please join us in celebrating Ryan Mitchell on this well-earned honor. 

Ryan is currently in his fourth year of the EOAS Geological Engineering program. Outside of his studies he serves as the president for the UBC Geological Engineering Undergraduate Club, GeoRox. When he is not studying or spending time in the GeoRox clubroom, Ryan enjoys spending his time outdoors, hiking, skiing, playing beach volleyball, or competing in intramural sports. 

Ryan’s success exemplifies the values of our department and the broader UBC community, inspiring current and future students to strive for excellence in their academic and extracurricular pursuits.

Congratulations, Ryan!
