Recipients of the bursary will be recognized as community leaders, scholars and ambassadors of good will.

Accepting the cheque of behalf of UOIT were Susan McGovern, Vice-President, External Relations and Dr. Carla Cesaroni, Director, Graduate Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities. The ceremony took place at the Shriner’s Hall in Oshawa, Ontario.
