The Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Indigenization (EDII) Alumni Award recognizes a Queen's alumni who has made a significant and ongoing contribution through mentorship, advocacy, or guidance to either an individual or group and advances Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigenization at Queen's, and beyond.
In 2022, the Queen's University Alumni Association (QUAA) renamed and adjusted the criteria for this award from the previous Alumni Mentorship Award. The QUAA respectfully acknowledges the past recipients of the Alumni Mentorship Award and looks forward to celebrating recipients under the new terms.
