Algoma University’s staff and faculty, as well as supporters of the Algoma University Foundation’s Scholarship and Bursary Program, will celebrate the academic achievements of its students tonight at the 22md Annual Algoma University Student Awards at The Pavilion at Algoma’s Water Tower Inn and Suites from 5:00pm-7:00pm.

“The students we are recognizing tonight are among our best and brightest,” said Dr. Craig Chamberlin, President and Vice Chancellor of Algoma University. “These students have worked hard this past year to achieve academic success, and tonight we celebrate their accomplishments. Tonight is also an opportunity for our donors to see the benefit of their generous contributions to the University and our students.”

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 and also provides students with the chance to express their gratitude to the donors who make these awards possible.
