A Special Moment at Convocation

It is a special thrill for us each year to see the President's Medal awarded at the Spring Convocation.  This year was no exception. 

The President's Medal is awarded to a student who has demonstrated outstanding achievement both academically and in their out-of-class activities, both on and off-campus.  For many of us, it is demonstration of what the University of Windsor student experience is all about. 

This year's recipient is Michael-Anthony Ferrato. Michael-Anthony earned places on the Dean’s List and President’s Honour Roll with a cumulative grade point average of 12.70 and a major grade point average of 12.90. He will continue his University of Windsor career in September as he pursues a masters degree in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Michael-Anthony has also been active in a wide range of student activities including serving as a Student Ambassador and an Outstanding Scholar.  For the Lancers, he was co-founder and co-captain of the men’s baseball team and video coordinator for the basketball program.  And he continued to support community athletic programs throughout his time as a student at the University.  Indeed, Michael-Anthony has been very busy during his student years!

The pleasure that comes from giving and receiving across the experience is indeed very special.
