About
The Research Award was instituted in 1989 both to recognize significant contributions by the Canadian Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE) members to scholarly research in Co-operative Education, and to encourage such research. The Research Award was renamed the Dr. Graham Branton Research Award in 1996 in honour of Dr. Graham Branton who was a leader in co-operative education research, program development and quality accreditation standards.
Dr. Graham Branton was the founder of co-operative education at the University of Victoria. Dr. Branton authored or co-authored over 15 scholarly publications, and delivered more than 30 papers throughout the world on the educational and societal benefits co-operative education as well as his research in chemistry, specializing in ionization phenomena and mass spectrometric methods of analysis. Dr. Branton was a model of professional commitment and dedication and was an invaluable resource for many provincial and national co-operative education practitioners. Dr. Branton chaired many committees of CAFCE, including serving as president, and the Association for Co-operative Education-British Columbia/Yukon/N.W.T. A recipient of the CAFCE Research Award and the Albert S. Barber Award, Dr. Branton, died in 1995 at the age of 52.
