Congratulations to our 2015 Alumni of Honour Award winnners! In July 2015 during the CAO Congress in Fredericton, NB, the School was pleased to announce our recipients:
Alumni of Honour
- Lillian Linton (left) Class of 1984
- Alan Ulsifer (centre) Class of 1990
Young Alumni of Honour
- Michelle Steenbakkers (right) Class of 2004
What is exceptional about these outstanding individuals is their commitment to helping those in need through their charitable work as well as their leadership and ‘take charge’ attitude to advance education and new models for the delivery of eye care.
Please join us in celebrating their accomplishments and contributions to the profession, their communities and beyond!
History of the Alumni of Honour Award
The Biennial Alumni of Honour Awards were established to celebrate Waterloo alumni who stand out as leaders and supporters both in the profession and in their communities. Recipients are nominated by their peers and recognized for their contributions that have made a difference. There are now two categories:
- Alumni of Honour Award
- Young Alumni of Honour Award
The Alumni of Honour Awards are presented biennially during the Canadian Association of Optometrists Biennial Congress. The next awards will be given out in 2017 in Ottawa, Ontario. We know that there are many deserving alumni who we would like to honour so nominate a colleague today!
Alumni Award nominations open for 2017
Tell us about an exceptional colleague who deserves the 2017 Alumni of Honour award. Submit details using our Alumni of Honour nomination form.
