ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Student Awards recap: celebrating success
Twice a year, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ (ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½) holds student awards ceremonies to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of talented and deserving students enrolled in a vast range of programs.
On Friday, May 25, the spring 2018 awards ceremony took place at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½'s Broadway campus where the awarded in excess of $134,000 in scholarships and awards. ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½’s scholarships and awards recognize academic excellence and acknowledge students who demonstrate leadership in the classroom or in their community.
Dr. Kathryn McNaughton, Vice President, Academic, Students and Research was present to congratulate each student. "It is one of my favourite events of the year and I am honoured to represent ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ in recognizing our students' successes," she said in her address.
At each awards ceremony, the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Foundation highlights one award in a video presentation. This season's video featured the recipients of the Dr. Kes Chetty MOSAIC scholarship. Dr. Chetty was a compassionate man of integrity who was committed to social justice. These scholarships recognize students from a non-English-speaking country who are continuing their education in Canada. Having good grades is always an important part of student success, but these awards seek to recognize those who are kind and generous of spirit. The 2018 award recipients are Masoud Nabizadeh from Iran and Joanne Meng Yang from China.
With many donor representatives in attendance, the awards ceremonies provide a special opportunity for donors to connect directly with the recipients of their awards. It also provides a chance for students—and ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½—to thank the donors in person.
