Remembrance scholarship in honour of Iran plane crash victims

On January 8, 2020, a Ukrainian airliner crashed near Tehran, Iran. Ontario Tech alumnus Razgar Rahimi and his family were among the victims. Dr. Rahimi, a Sessional Instructor with the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, received a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Ontario Tech in 2018.
