University Finalist for the Alumni Gold Medal

Each year, nominees for the Alumni Gold Medal who are considered, but who are not selected to receive a medal will be awarded the designation as a 'University Finalist for the Alumni Gold Medal'. This is a special designation in lieu of a medal. Recipients will be selected by the Advisory Committee on Graduate Scholarships and Awards and the Associate Vice-President, Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs and will receive a certificate. The award recognizes outstanding graduate students at the University of Waterloo who were strong candidates for the Alumni Gold Medal. The designation is awarded automatically by the Faculty/Department, and recipients are selected in the Fall term each year.
