18th Annual Algoma University Student Awards

SAULT STE. MARIE - The students, faculty and staff of Algoma University, as well as supporters of the Algoma University Foundation's scholarship and bursary program, celebrated the success of 268 of the University's students Wednesday night at the 18th Annual Algoma University Student Awards.

The awards ceremony takes place at The Pavilion at Algoma's Water Tower Inn.

The event honours top students for their achievements and recognizes the generosity of donors whose gifts make a positive impact on the lives of students.
 
"This is one of the most exciting nights of the year for the University," said Dr. Richard Myers, president of Algoma University "It is an opportunity for our generous donors to meet the students whose lives are impacted so positively by the contributions they've made to the University, and of course it's a chance to celebrate the success of our best and brightest."
 
Perhaps the most prestigious award given out last night is the John R. Rhodes Scholarship, which was given this year to Jonathon Young.

Valued at $3,000 annually, this award is for a student who has demonstrated academic achievement and community leadership while being involved in political, social, or academic activities at the secondary level.

In order for the award to renew, the recipient must maintain an 80 percent average in each academic year.

Current Algoma University students Michael Manicco and Jessica Wilson are continuing recipients of the John R. Rhodes Scholarship.

The 2011 John R. Rhodes Scholarship Dinner is held each fall to raise funds for this award.

This year's dinner, which honoured Dr. Lou and Mrs. Mae Lukenda, raised $34,000 for the scholarship.

Other prestigious awards and winners included: the Edward and Frank McGrath Award of Excellence (Nicholas Cerilli and Michael Kendall); the Carl J. Sanders Scholarship (Adrianna Bruni, Stacey Devlin and Jennifer Kendall), and the Paul and Bricken Dalseg, Pioneers of Lake-of-the-Woods Student Award (Diandra Bellerose).

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 to academic success and provides students with the chance to express gratitude to the donors who make the awards possible.
