The ɬÀï·¬ Medal for Exceptional Academic Achievement

In order to acknowledge retired members of ɬÀï·¬'s academic staff who are uniquely deserving in light of their exceptional contributions to their discipline, to the University and to society at large, the University established a Medal for Exceptional Academic Achievement (the ɬÀï·¬ Medal).  

Nominations for the ɬÀï·¬ Medal are reviewed by the President's Advisory Committee for the Conferral of the ɬÀï·¬ Medal for Exceptional Academic Achievement, which is chaired by the Provost and Executive Vice-President (Academic), and includes four other members of the Academic Staff. The Advisory Committee makes conferral recommendations to the Honorary Degrees and Convocations Committee, which in turn makes recommendations to Senate.
