Algoma University’s staff and faculty, as well as the supporters of the Algoma University Foundation’s Scholarship and Bursary Program, celebrated the academic achievements of its students at the 20th Annual Algoma University Student Awards at The Pavilion at Algoma’s Water Tower Inn last night.
“The students we are recognizing tonight are among our best and brightest,” said Dr. Richard Myers, President of Algoma University. “These students have worked hard this past year to achieve academic success, and tonight we celebrate their accomplishments. Tonight is also an opportunity for our donors to see the benefit of their generous contributions to the University and our students.”
The annual student awards ceremony and reception acknowledges the academic accomplishments of Algoma University’s students. It highlights the importance of financial awards and community support and provides students with the chance to express their gratitude to the donors who make the awards possible.
