Established in 1989, the Arbor Award is a U of T-wide honour designed to recognize alumni volunteers, as well as friends of the university who have generously committed their time to improve the experience of students, faculty, alumni and staff.

This year, four exceptional members of the Trinity community received Arbor Awards. Congratulations to our newest award recipients: Maggie Helwig, Jennifer Hood, Ann James and Charles Wall.
