Algoma University is amplifying student achievement in a new way this year through Student Awards Week. This new, week-long celebration shines a spotlight on student achievement across academic excellence, leadership, and community involvement.
The expanded format moves beyond a single awards event, allowing time throughout the week to recognize students and highlight the lasting impact of donor generosity. During the 2025-2026 academic year, nearly 3,960 students received awards.
“Our donors are partners in our students’ journeys,” said Interim President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Sheila Embleton. “Their generosity reflects care, responsibility, and a belief in every student’s potential. Each award represents dedication, focus, and a commitment to making the most of a student’s time at Algoma University, and this is backed by our valued donors. On behalf of Algoma University, merci, thank you, and chi-miigwech to our donors for your generosity, your trust, and your belief in our students.”
“By celebrating student achievements over an entire week, we create more opportunities to recognize the many ways our students contribute to learning, leadership, and community life across our campuses,” shared Interim Vice-President Academic and Research, Dr. Brett Goodwin. “Every award reflects a journey shaped by perseverance, curiosity, and a commitment to growth. Our students’ accomplishments strengthen our university community.”
Algoma University extends its sincere thanks to all award donors for their generosity and partnership, and congratulates this year’s award recipients on their well-deserved achievements.
