What are the Principal’s Awards?
The annual Principal’s Awards program recognizes the outstanding work and contributions of McGill’s administrative and support staff members.
The award includes public recognition at the Fall Convocation ceremony, a luncheon with the Principal and Vice-Chancellor, and – last but not least – a $5,000 prize. One award is granted in each of the following five categories, for a total of $25,000: management and excluded; clerical; technical/library assistants and nurses; trades and services; and team projects. For the last category, the prize money is shared among the team.
