I鈥檓 grateful to my colleagues within the CSMS for considering my contributions to be worthy of this distinction and I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the amazing students that I have had the pleasure of supervising and working alongside over the past decade.鈥
Smith will receive the award at the conference on June 5, 2018. The award is based on the impact of an individual鈥檚 career.
