being a leader by acknowledging their growth and celebrating their achievements.
Student leadership comes in many forms and is acknowledged not only at Ryerson,
but in the student's communities. Recipients of this award will have shown a
high level of commitment, lead by example, shown initiative and made a strong
contribution to their community within Ryerson and beyond.

experience at Ryerson is her current role as the Academic Link - LLC student
leader who works with the Faculty of Community Services LLC. Manish was acknowledged for his dynamic
leadership as the Engineering Academic Link, role as a Tri-Mentor & the
numerous committees he sits on across campus.

students who live in his section.
Finally, Ms. Gloria Eid, the sole recipient of a community development
