The Homer Award
Continuing the other noble tradition of the
Institute
The History
• Named in honour of Homer Simpson
“To succeed despite idiocy”
Past winners
WARNING: The ice just went out (we hope) on the lake
and so the water is just above freezing. We will take
some time over the lunch hour to instruct everyone on
basic canoe safety and what to do in the event that
someone dumps in the water. We have BWCA-
experienced assistants on the trip and we will bring
special equipment to guard against hypothermia.
Despite these precautions, the best preventative is
using extreme care and common sense.
Which one of these contestants will be the lucky recipient of the
2007 Homer Award
