2021 ROSEMARY GILL AWARD – CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

In June of 1995 the President approved the establishment of the Rosemary Gill Award in memory of Dr. Rosemary Gill, Director of Student Health Services, who exemplified a high level of commitment of service to students, both in terms of her responsibilities as a physician on campus and as a member of the larger University community.

Awards are presented annually to a member or members of faculty or staff of the University who have provided outstanding service, other than teaching, to students.  Up to four awards can be made each year.  An individual may receive the Rosemary Gill Award one time.  The selection of recipients is made by a committee consisting of the President; the Vice-Provost, Student Affairs; a member of the Academic and Student Affairs Committee of the Board of Governors; and a student appointed by the Dalhousie Student Union.

The first Rosemary Gill Awards were presented in February, 1996, and nominations are now being sought for awards to be presented in 2021.  Nominations should be made in writing and include the rationale for the nomination.  Nominations can include up to three letters of support, preferably including at least one from a student or students.  To assist you in planning your submission, a nomination form can be found at:  dal.ca/rosemarygillaward

The Rosemary Gill Award is a plaque which is typically presented to the recipient(s) at a spring reception hosted by the President.  Due to the unforeseen nature of COVID-19 restrictions, plans for 2021 are to be determined.  In addition, a permanent plaque bearing the names of annual recipients is displayed in the Henry Hicks Academic Administration Building.

Please e-mail your complete package, including nomination and letters of support, to:
