Left-to-right:
- Mayer Alvo (chair of the department)
- Guy Beaulieu (fellow grad student)
- Benoît Valiron (fellow grad student)
- Myself (holding the fabled

- Susan Niefield (external examiner)
- Paul-Eugène Parent (internal examiner)
- Rick Blute (supervisor)
The same gang, taken unawares:

A close-up of me and Rick:

tie.
