President’s Excellence Awards

Awards of Excellence

Established in 2021, the President’s Excellence Award is part of the University of Toronto’s Pinnacle Awards Program, which recognizes exceptional contributions by administrative staff and librarians. The President’s Excellence Award complements the Chancellor’s Leadership Award.

Recipients of the President’s Excellence Award demonstrate outstanding service to the University and enhance the University experience for students, faculty members, librarians, and / or staff in accordance with the University’s mission. Each recipient receives $1,000 and is invited to attend the Pinnacle Awards Luncheon to receive their award certificate in Spring 2025.

Nominations can be made in one of three categories:

  • Emerging Excellence – presented to an administrative staff member (unionized or non-unionized) or librarian who demonstrates outstanding potential to enhance the U of T experience for students, staff, faculty members, and / or librarians;
  • Distinguished Excellence – presented to an administrative staff member (unionized or non-unionized) or librarian who demonstrates excellence beyond their job description and has made an exceptional impact upon their own Faculty / division / campus; and
  • Influential Excellence – presented to an administrative staff member (unionized or non-unionized) or a librarian whose ongoing contributions have had a far-reaching impact outside the U of T community, building U of T’s reputation as a world-class institution.

The Selection Committee reserves the right to move nominations to a different category if they believe another category reflects a nominee’s contributions more accurately.
