This event also recognized two new honorary members: Kevin Lamoureux, Associate Vice-President of Indigenous Affairs for The University of Winnipeg and Robert Silver, Chancellor of The University of Winnipeg.These individuals were chosen from outstanding faculty, administrators, or community leaders who have excelled in their profession, research, teaching, or service and exemplify the three Golden Key pillars—Academics , Service, and Leadership.
This year, the Chapter will continue to volunteer with Canadian Blood Services, the Newcomers Education and Employment Development Services Centre, Siloam Mission, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Winnipeg. In addition to volunteering, as one of its service initiatives, the UW-GK Chapter collected non-perishable goods for the UWSA Food Bank.
The UW-GK has also partnered with The Princeton Review, which offers discounts on MCAT and LSAT exams and offers seminars to all University of Winnipeg students.
