posted on March 25: Three new members inducted into McMaster Honour Society

Three new members were welcomed into the McMaster Honour Society this past Friday.

The Honour M Awards are one of the highest distinctions a student can receive at the University and are presented to those who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, volunteer service, contribution and/or achievement in extra-curricular activities.

This year's recipients are Nadia Conforti, Arif Manji and Lee Schofield. (Click on Honour M recipients celebrated for more details on the winners.)

The Honour M Awards were first developed in 1931. At that time the Silhouette noted that while academic and athletic excellence were liberally rewarded, there was no corresponding recognition for contributions to student government and organizations.

Past recipients include:

Syl Apps '36, former Toronto Maple Leaf and McMaster's Athlete of the 1st Half of the Century

Bob Nixon, '50, former deputy premier and treasurer of Ontario

Ivan Reitman, '69, film director and producer

More than 350 McMaster students have received Honour M Awards during the past 71 years.
