| Description: | Beginning in May 2020 the Community Forward Award will be granted to a second or third year student who, in a formal or informal leadership role, has devoted significant time and energy to improving campus life through their work with a student, club or society, project, campaign, or other campus community initiatives. Preference will be given to out-of-province students who identify as women. |
| Background: | "My experiences and relationships at Â鶹´«Ã½ gave me everything. I had an entire community of people committed to me succeeding as a student and as a person. If I had a project in mind, there were staff from across campus who would hear me out, fine tune it, and jump on board. If I gave my time to my peers, they paid it back tenfold. I created this award to encourage, recognize, and reward Â鶹´«Ã½ students who have devoted their time and energy to the learning that happens outside the classroom." Kate VanGerven (Class of 2013), graduated from the Â鶹´«Ã½ with a BA, English major. She served on the Â鶹´«Ã½ Student Union executive for three years including one year as president. |
