Posted on June 11: University Advancement team wins five medals for excellence

Two gold. One silver. Two bronze.

Not Canada's medal count from the last Olympics, but McMaster's medal count from the Canadian Council for the Advancement of Education (CCAE) Prix D'Excellence annual awards program.

The Prix D'Excellence is an Olympic event of sorts for the CCAE, honouring “outstanding achievement in alumni affairs, public affairs, development, student recruitment and overall institution Advancement.”

The Prix D'Excellence awarded medals in 33 categories this year and McMaster's tally of five medals placed the University's Advancement team among the top six universities in the country.

“Winning the Prix D'Excellence awards only confirms what I've always known to be true about the group of people who work so hard to advance McMaster University. Our University is known for its innovation and commitment to excellence and the University Advancement team reflects this commitment in the communications we produce, the events we host and our Web innovations,” says Roger Trull, vice-president, University Advancement.

McMaster garnered medals in the following categories:

Gold

Daily News Electronic Calendar of Events

Silver

Bronze
