2025 University of Toronto Student Leadership Awards

The University of Toronto Student Leadership Award (UTSLA) recognizes students in their final year who have at least one year of significant volunteer leadership and high-impact service. The award continues the spirit of the retired Cressy Award as the recipients of the UTSLA join the distinguished community of past Cressy Award recipients. 

UTSLA continues U of T’s long-standing tradition of recognizing outstanding student leadership, volunteer service, and commitment to the university.

This tradition began with the Gordon Cressy Student Leadership Award which ran from 1994 – 2019 and was named by the University of Toronto Alumni Association (UTAA) in honour of Mr. Gordon Cressy, former Vice-President, Development and University Relations.

Woodsworth College is pleased to announce that seven students have been awarded the University of Toronto Student Leadership Award (UTSLA) this year for their leadership and volunteerism:

• Luca Giavedoni
• Grace Nyabol Kuol
• Jolina Li
• Chhavi Shah
• Isha Singh
• Jessica Wang
• Lauren Zhuang

Congratulations to the recipients!
