Congratulations to Sociology PhD candidate Christina Pilgrim on being selected as a 2025 Faculty of Arts and Science Black Excellence in Mentorship award recipient.

The Black Excellence in Mentorship Award, launched in 2023 to acknowledge and celebrate the mentorship work undertaken by the Black community at Queen's.

The Faculty of Arts and Sciences is committed to supporting a more inclusive environment and acknowledges the disproportionate service burden placed on Black faculty members, students, and staff. Despite this barrier, many have found a way to support their peers through formal and informal mentorship. The Faculty, building on recommendations from the PICRDI Report and reaffirmed through the Scarborough Charter, are launching the Mentorship Award to recognize those members who have supported their peers through mentorship.

Christina has been invited to a luncheon with Dean Lemieux to celebrate her great achievements.
