Angela Hildyard Recognition Award

The annual Angela Hildyard SWAAC Recognition Awards recognize influential and emerging leaders who have continually demonstrated innovative and impactful leadership in advancing the mission of, and achieving outstanding contributions to, their institution and/or to higher education. Two awards of $1,000 each are given annually - one for an influential leader and one for an emerging leader. A donation will be made on each recipient's behalf to an institution of their choice, in the form of a contribution to an endowment or fund that supports students, or to a registered charitable organization supporting educational initiatives. The awards recognize leaders who demonstrate commitment to institutional vision, promote equity, diversity and inclusion, improve educational experiences for students, engage stakeholders, and mentor the next generation of Canadian educators. All SWAAC members in post-secondary institutions are eligible to be nominated for this recognition award.
