The Alice Buckingham Leadership Award

The Alice Buckingham Leadership Award

This award was established by a generous donation from Peg Hunter (B. Comm '82) in honour of her mother Alice Buckingham. Mrs. Buckingham championed the leadership role and right of women in business and served as an inspiration to aspiring female leaders during her 50 year business career.

Valued at a portion of the income on the investment, it will be awarded annually to a full-time female student enrolled in at least her second year of studies in the Bachelor of Commerce (Co-op) program or the Bachelor of Business Administration program. This award will recognize a student who has played a leadership role in a student-based activity or organization.

Preference will be given to students who have demonstrated financial need. The recipient must meet the minimum academic requirements for an award as defined by Memorial University of Newfoundland. This award will be granted by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards on the recommendation of the Dean, Faculty of Business Administration.
