TORONTO - In the 18 years we’ve been handing out the Kay Baxter Memorial Award on behalf of the Toronto Sun to deserving students in computer science studies at the University of Toronto, we’ve never had one achieve a perfect grade point average (GPA) of 4.0.
Until now. Saman Samikermani, 21, who emigrated to Canada from Iran with his father, Parivash, mother, Saeid, and sister Parisa two years ago, received the perfect score on his studies at U of T last year.
Now in his fourth and final year of undergraduate study, Saman says his love of computers began when he took his first computer studies course in Tehran at the age of 12, when he was in grade 6.
