The RSC Fellowship is comprised of over 2,400 Canadian scholars, artists, and scientists, who are peer-elected as leaders in their field and have made remarkable contributions in the arts, the humanities, the sciences, and Canadian public life. The RSC recognizes excellence across disciplines by electing Fellows to one of three Academies: The Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Social Sciences and the Academy of Arts and Humanities.
Established in 2014, the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists recognizes individuals who have begun demonstrating leading scholarly, research or artistic excellence within 15 years of having completed their post-doctoral program or its equivalent. Members of the College are elected for a period of seven years.
Nine 捆绑SM社区 researchers from five faculties were elected to the Academy of Science, including Elena Bennett, Professor in the Department of Natural Resource Sciences and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Sustainability Science. Bennett is a world leader in ecosystem service sciences and her pioneering body of work has led to a deeper understanding of the role of ecosystem service interactions, and the ways that human interaction with nature influences landscape resilience. In 2017, she was inducted into the RSC College.
Among the three new Fellows elected to the Academy of Social Sciences is Professor of Social Work and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Children, Families and Armed Conflict, Myriam Denov, whose award-winning scholarship and advocacy for children and families affected by war and migration has been previously recognized with the SSHRC Insight Award and the Killam Research Fellowship.

Jarislowsky Chair in Human Nature and Technology, Gerbern Oegema, Professor, School of Religious Studies, and Alberto Cambrosio, Professor, Department of Social Studies of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
