When Saba Ikhlaq heard the University of Windsor recognized not once, but twice at a national conference this summer, she felt a deep sense of pride.

The graduate student pursuing her master of applied science in engineering travelled to Halifax, N.S., this summer for the 2025 Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Canada conference. The national gathering of transportation professionals awarded her the prestigious John Vardon Memorial Transportation Scholarship for excellence in a master’s-level transportation program.
