Nominations for the 2025 Awards of Excellence are open until March 7, 2025
Schulich Awards of Excellence are designed to demonstrate a tangible appreciation for the outstanding work and commitment of staff members.

Individuals being nominated must be employed at the School at the time of the nomination and remain qualified until the time of adjudication. All nominees will be reviewed for eligibility by Schulich’s Associate Director, Human Resources prior to adjudication by the committee.
