Fisher/Duxbury Awards for Leadership

Award type: 
Scholarships/awards
Award description: 

The Sandford Fleming Foundation has established these awards to recognize two undergraduate students, graduating in the Faculty of Engineering, who have shown outstanding leadership throughout their academic careers. The leadership contributions can be associated with the Engineering Societies, Department and Faculty activities, Cooperative Education, the Sandford Fleming Foundation and other similar functions, particularly those with a professional orientation. Nominations may be submitted by student groups, faculty members, or other individuals. Letters of Support from colleagues, faculty, and others familiar with the nominee's accomplishments are extremely important and form the major basis upon which the Executive Committee of the Sandford Fleming Foundation will form its decision. These awards have been named in recognition of the outstanding contributions made toward the work of the Foundation by its former Chairs, Dr. John Fisher and Dr. Roy Duxbury.
