Michael Phair Leadership Award

The Michael Phair Leadership Award is awarded to students with satisfactory academic standing entering the second, third, or fourth year of studies in an undergraduate degree program at the University of Alberta. Selection is based on demonstrated leadership qualities and involvement in extracurricular and community activities. Preference is given to students who have demonstrated commitment to the advancement of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-identified, two-spirited, or queer communities. The award was established through endowed funds by the Friends of Michael Phair, in recognition of his dedicated public service to the City of Edmonton and the LGBTQ2S+ communities of Alberta.
