 Vern Kimball2012 Distinguished Alumni Award |
Vern Kimball has been called a “top difference maker” and one of “Alberta’s 50 Most Influential.” As CEO of the Calgary Stampede, he’s leading the venerable Calgary non-profit through its 100th anniversary in 2012. Kimball's personal foundation of western values and an unshakable passion for his city have led the Stampede through re-branding, re-development and re-invention to ensure that it remains a vibrant contributor to Calgary’s image on the world’s stage. He also devotes his time and energy to the Rotary Club of Calgary and the Calgary Philharmonic Society. |
 Nick Blitterswyk2012 Graduate of the Last Decade Award |
Actuary turned wind-energy entrepreneur Nick Blitterswyk was following his dream when he co-founded New York City-based Urban Green Energy (UGE) in 2006. Built upon the core values of “Be Green, Be Great, Have Fun,” UGE brings versatile, innovative and reliable green energy to urban dwellers, those off the grid and even Fortune 500 companies. Just four years later, Blitterswyk has helped UGE grow into a premier manufacturer and supplier of renewable energy solutions with more than 150 employees in the Unites States and China and installations in more than 60 countries. We're proud to honour Nick as our 2012 Graduate of the Last Decade. |
 Dave Campbell2012 Future Alumni Award |
Faculty of Medicine Class of 2012 graduate Dave Campbell’s list of accomplishments and accolades defy the odds, and he’s just getting started. Described by a faculty member as “the most unique medical student I have ever come across” Campbell has already made a mark in medicine and clinical research in Calgary and internationally. |
