It is with great pleasure that I announce a call for nominations for the annual University of Ottawa Faculty of Engineering Alumni Awards of Excellence.
The purpose of the awards is to recognize the outstanding achievements of our engineering and computer science alumni.
In 2015, Faculty of Engineering alumni will be honoured in three categories. They are as follows:
Alumnus/Alumna Award of Excellence
The Alumnus/Alumna Award of Excellence has been awarded annually since 1999. It recognizes alumni who have excelled professionally and/or have made a special contribution to society at large.
Alumnus/Alumna Entrepreneur of the Year (Established in 2014)
The Alumnus/Alumna Entrepreneur of the Year Award recognizes a uOttawa graduate who has achieved entrepreneurial success within the past year. Consideration will be given to alumni who have won honours in their field, or who have been recognized at the national or international level.
Young Alumnus/Alumna Award (Established in 2014)
The Young Alumnus /Alumna Award recognizes significant contributions by an individual in his or her field of endeavour, whether through professional achievements or community service. The recipient must be aged 40 or under and set an inspirational example for future generations of Faculty of Engineering alumni.
We know that our Faculty of Engineering alumni are achieving considerable success in countless fields of work and we hope to receive many nominations in order to recognize some of them. You may nominate a candidate by submitting the following to Kyle Bournes, Alumni Relations Officer — Engineering at kbournes@uOttawa.ca:
- a letter of nomination (indicate the award that you are nominating the person for)
- a biography, CV or resumé (maximum two pages)
- a list of the nominee’s achievements
In addition, nominees are encouraged to enlist the help of former professors or fellow uOttawa alumni to enhance their candidacy with letters of support. This always helps to build spirit in our uOttawa Engineering and Computer Science community!
Please nominate deserving alumni for these Faculty awards as soon as possible. The deadline for nominations is Tuesday, June 9, 2015.
Sincerely,
Claude Laguë, P.Eng., ing., FCAE|MACG, Ph.D.
