Each year at Convocation, one graduating science student is presented with our Alumni Gold Medal Award. The recipient demonstrates outstanding academic achievement in his/her undergraduate program of study. It has been awarded since 1976. Traditionally, this prestigious award is presented to the graduate by a Science Alumnus as a symbol of the ongoing and vital role of alumni contribution to the university.
2021 Gold Medal Recipient
Congratulations to our 2021 Gold Medal Alumni Award recipient!
Max Chemtov, BSc, Mathematical Physics
One thing that stood out during my time at UW was the sense of community within my cohort – everybody was there to help each other out, which became especially important when classes went online.
