Recognition

The University of Alberta recognizes that without the contributions and dedication of faculty, staff and students we would not be the institution we are today. To celebrate and acknowledge those people who have made an outstanding impact on the University, there are formal recognition programs including the annual Celebration of Service, as well as the annual recognition awards.

In addition to formal recognition the University supports informal recognition.
