These are the latest in over two dozen awards made since the fund was established in the mem- ory of Rita Johnson, a support staff member who worked as the College’s Women’s Centre Assistant. The selection committee is composed of Connie Gibbs, Financial Aid; Carol McQuarrie, Music, and Marsha Trew, the past co-ordinator of the former Women’s Centre. The Memorial Award was established to assist mature women students enrolled in either part- time or full-time studies in any field of post-secon- dary study. Preference is given to women who have an interest in academic studies and who have demonstrated an interest in women’s issues. Applications for the award are received by the Financial Aid office throughout the year, and the awards are usually presented in both fall and spring terms. Donations to the Rita Johnson Memorial Award are still being received by the College Foun- dation office, Room A101. Tax-deductible receipts are issued.
