The President’s Award of Excellence in Student Leadership is Ontario Tech University’s highest honour, presented annually to two graduating students—one undergraduate or professional student and one graduate student—who demonstrate outstanding leadership across all four award categories: Tech with a Conscience, Learning Re-imagined, Creating a Sticky Campus, and Partnerships.

Recipients of this prestigious award exemplify the university’s mission to prepare future leaders who solve complex problems and reflect the core values of integrity, inclusion, intellectual resilience, and innovation. These students set a standard of excellence through their holistic contributions, embodying the spirit of Ontario Tech’s vision while creating a lasting impact within the university and beyond.
