Outstanding Scholars Gala 2026

A night of celebration, achievement, and Outstanding Scholars pride

The third annual Outstanding Scholars Gala was a night of energy and well-earned moments of shining celebration.

We gathered to recognize the achievements of the 2025/2026 cohort, celebrate our graduates, and spotlight award winners who continue to raise the bar for what’s possible at the University of Windsor. From powerful moments on stage to conversations that will carry forward long after the evening ended, this year’s gala captured what Outstanding Scholars is all about: curiosity, courage, and community.

During the event, we enjoyed delicious food, great conversations, and live music from our students, families, and friends.

Below, you’ll find photos from the evening, along with highlights of our award winners and graduates. A special thank you to Zeina Abou Haidar for capturing the night so beautifully.
