Students who go the distance to improve the University of Toronto, their local communities and the world are proudly recognized with Cressy Awards.

Established in 1994 by the University of Toronto Alumni Association, the awards are named after Gordon Cressy, the former vice-president of development and university relations who was known for his commitment to higher education and his leadership in fundraising and community service.

Cressy Award winners are honoured each Spring at a ceremony that celebrates their outstanding extracurricular contributions to their college, faculty or school, to the university as a whole, or to the world.
