Each year, the Faculty of Arts honours our exceptional students, faculty and staff at our Celebration of Excellence.  

In most years, we all gather together in the spring to recognize the contributions of our award winners and the incredible work that our entire community does to make the Faculty of Arts a world-class place to learn, teach, and conduct research. While 2020 prevented us from celebrating in person, the Faculty of Arts is pleased to celebrate both our 2020 and 2021 award winners virtually, and will do so in May at a virtual ceremony.

At that time, we will be honouring those that have won Arts specific awards. We would also like to take this opportunity to recognize all our other great award winners. Below is a list of winners of significant University awards and other nationally recognized achievements that we would usually include in the Celebration of Excellence in the Faculty of Arts.
