Mohawk College's Distinguished Fellows

Since 2012, Mohawk College has honoured 59 community leaders who made valuable contributions to the college in key ways, including academic advisement, student engagement, community outreach and strategic advisement to Mohawk’s senior leadership team.

Participation in the Distinguished Fellows program is by invitation only, with the title conferred and service to the college recognized during Convocation ceremonies. Distinguished Fellows serve appointments of three to five years, with an opportunity for renewal.
