Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ

Beginning her work at the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà in 2003, Alyson Woloshyn laid the foundation of the university’s student leadership programs. In every part of her work, she demonstrated a true dedication to mentoring, leading others to achieve their own successes and making others shine.

In memory of Woloshyn, this honorific award recognizes an outstanding continuing undergraduate student whose contributions to the university and Calgary communities mirror Woloshyn’s commitment to developing others and improving the student experience.

Over her 29-year career with the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ, Alison Heal was known for her commitment to mentoring students and young student affairs professionals. She also demonstrated a unique combination of strategic thinking and creative vision, which not only helped shape key initiatives at UCalgary, but also impacted how the university considers the needs of students in student affairs. The Alison Heal Memorial Award both celebrates and continues Heal’s student affairs legacy. This $2,000 award is open to continuing undergraduate students who plan to pursue a career in student affairs.

On March 18, 2021, a beloved member of the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà family was lost — Ricky Ramdhaney, Manager of International Student Services and Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Senator.

For over a decade, Ricky was a tireless champion for our international students at UCalgary. A graduate of McGill University (BA) with a master’s degree from New York University in international education, Ricky joined UCalgary in 2009 and dedicated his professional life to mentorship, advising, and service to community. He was known for his warmth, generosity, and unwavering commitment to supporting the success of our international students.

This award provides up to $1,000 to international students who have displayed a commitment to leadership, service and community building within UCalgary and beyond.
