School of Computer Science student and President of the Society for Computing and Information Sciences, Patrick Houlding, received the Gordon Nixon Leadership Award, along with Jonathon MacPherson from the School of Engineering, and Dr. Gillis (faculty in the School of Computer Science). The trio were honoured for their work organizing the Guelph Hacks for Mental Health hackathon that took place in the Summerlee Science Complex on March 11th and 12th. Jonathon also received the Be The Change award.

The Gordon Nixon Leadership Award was established by the Annual Fund in recognition of Gordon Nixon (OAC '37) and his outstanding contributions in support of student life, alumni activities, and fundraising at the University of Guelph.
