Dr. Temple Grandin to speak at Tribute Awards Ceremony

Posted by Stephanie Rogers on May 5, 2015 in News

The Tribute Awards ceremony will be held on Friday morning, May 8th beginning at 10:00 a.m.  The ceremony provides an opportunity to acknowledge the success of our faculty, staff and students during the academic year 2014 - 2015. 

All teaching faculty and staff are encouraged to attend and process into the Theatre  for the presentation of awards.

An added feature this year is an address from Dr. Temple Grandin, our 2015 honourary Doctorate recipient.

Dr. Temple Grandin is almost certainly both the world’s most famous animal scientist and the world’s most recognized person with autism. She turned the childhood pain of being different into a life of profound purpose, using her unique perspective to change the face of animal welfare and give hope and inspiration to millions of people and families living with autism spectrum diagnoses. In 2010, Dr. Grandin was named one of Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World” in the Heroes category.

Please RSVP your attendance as we are expecting limited seating availabiilty. Tickets required.
