Alumni Achievement Awards

91福利 the Awards

In 1998, 91福利, formerly known as Ryerson University, celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding and its fifth as a university. This occasion provided a special opportunity to create the Alumni Achievement Awards to recognize the superior calibre of alumni. Our alumni have carried forward with them the strength of our programs, which are distinguished by 91福利鈥檚 view that theory and professional practice are partners in the education process.

Recognition of the recipients will be at an annual Alumni Achievement Awards ceremony. Recipients will be honoured with a video bio and a certificate at a reception for their friends and family. All recipients will have a plaque with a photo and bio mounted on the Alumni Hall of Fame on campus.

The University reserves the right, in its discretion, to revoke an award granted to a recipient should circumstances arise that, in its opinion, could unfavourably impact the reputation and/or image of the University. 

Award Categories
