Great Trekker Award Recipients

GREAT TREKKER AWARD RECIPIENTS

The Great Trekker award was initiated in 1950. This award is presented by the Alma Mater Society to a graduate of UBC who has:

1. achieved eminence in his or her chosen field of activity; 2. made a worthy and special contribution to the community; and 3. evidenced an especially keen and continued interest in his/her Alma Mater and rendered particular service to the undergraduate and graduate students.

The award is also said to commemorate the spirit of the Great Trek of 1922, the march by UBC students that helped convince the government to provide the funding needed to build the current campus in Point Grey.
