Outstanding UWindsor Alumni were honoured Thursday evening at the University of Windsor during the alumni association’s annual general meeting.

Gordon Orr (BA ‘89), chief executive officer of Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island, received the inaugural Alumni Ambassador Award, recognizing a graduate in mid-career demonstrating significant achievement in their professional and community activity.

Two alumni received the Award of Merit in recognition of career and personal accomplishments which have brought honour to the University of Windsor, and of outstanding service to the University, are Sandra Gage (BHK 1990) and Jennifer Mathers McHenry (JD 2003).

Gage has been involved in senior marketing and communications roles within amateur sport and major events for more than 20 years, most recently completing a three-year secondment from Canada Soccer to serve as chief marketing and communications officer for the National Organizing Committee of the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada.

Mathers McHenry is a founder of #AfterMeToo, which partnered with Canadian Women’s Foundation to create an organization focused on improving access to justice for women who experience workplace sexual harassment and abuse. In 2017, Lexpertmagazine recognized her as a leading employment lawyer to watch.
