To mark the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ's 50th anniversary, University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ's Alumni Council established the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ 50th Anniversary Alumni Awards to honour outstanding alumni for their commitment to the university.
Nominations were accepted from alumni, University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ faculty and staff, and the council selected 50 alumni who exemplified extraordinary citizenship to University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ through activities like volunteering, mentoring, involvement with committees, boards or panels, philanthropic support or advocacy.
The recipients were honoured at a formal awards dinner on Friday, September 28 at Chatterbox Farm, home of University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ President David Johnston and his wife Sharon. Each award recipient received a limited-edition print of Fifty: Upholding Imagination, a piece created specifically for this occasion, by artist Paul Roorda, BA '88.
University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ is extremely grateful for their commitment, dedication and support to this great institution.
