2019 Faculty of Nursing Pursuit of Excellence Awards

Nominees and recipients

The Faculty of Nursing began its successful recognition program in 2011 with generous support from Covenant Health, Canada’s largest Catholic health-care provider.

In 2017, our team of committed committee volunteers re-envisioned the program and have renamed it The Faculty of Nursing Pursuit of Excellence Awards. These awards will continue to recognize the hard work, commitment and success of our students, faculty, staff, alumni and community partners in whom we take great pride.

On May 7, 2019, during National Nursing Week, the nominees and recipients of the 2019 Faculty of Nursing Pursuit of Excellence Awards were recognized at a luncheon in the Senate Room at Hotel Alma. Alumni Arielle Manzano, BN'18 and MJ Calungcaguin, BN'17, were co-emcees and Dean Sandra Davidson delivered welcoming remarks as well as presented the awards.

Thanks once again to our awards committee, volunteers and everyone who submitted a nomination this year!
