Gala Méritas honours 52 Polytechnique Montreal staff and faculty members
The celebrated Gala Méritas awards evening, which honours Polytechnique Montréal's faculty, was held on Tuesday, April 3. The Association des étudiants de Polytechnique (Polytechnique students association—AEP) and the education committees that organize the event each year honoured 52 winners in various categories.
A number of AEP committees helped organize the event as a gesture of gratitude to their professors, which made for a very festive ceremony.
The event organizers were Émilie Thibaudeau (Director), Anik
Trépanier (Treasurer and emcee), Daniel O'Brien (AEP VP-Education, and emcee) and Josianne Rivest (VP-
Logistics).
Gilles Savard, Dean of Research and Innovation, took the podium at the outset of the event and saluted the students'
initiative: “These awards are, in my view, the best symbol of our students' recognition of their professors' commitment,
excellence and passion for teaching.”
