03.02.10 - Matthew Brown, Holly Jordan win Gordon Cressy Student Leadership Awards
Matthew Brown (MLA 3) and Holly Jordan (MArch 4) have won 2010 Gordon Cressy Student Leadership Awards at the University of Toronto.
The Cressy Awards were established in 1994 by the University of Toronto Alumni Association (UTAA) and the Division of University Advancement in order to recognize students who have made outstanding extra-curricular contributions to their college, faculty or school, or to the university as a whole.
In naming the awards after Gordon Cressy, former vice-president of development and university relations, the UTAA recognized his commitment to higher education and his leadership in fundraising and community service. The qualities of leadership and dedication demonstrated by Mr. Cressy during his six years with the university are also embodied in the efforts of students chosen to receive this award – students who are committed to "making a difference."
