Chancellor’s Metal
Anne McKay graduated from Carleton University on November 2018 with a BA in Philosophy and was awarded the
Chancellor’s Medal.
“I feel privileged and honoured to have received this amazing award,” says McKay.
“My experience at Carleton was incredible. I returned to university after having been away for 30 years (I am now 56). My sole purpose of returning to school later in life was to study philosophy—something I had longed to do.”
Governor General's Silver Award
McKay received Governor General’s Silver Medal at the 2019 Spring Convocation.McKay says she worked very hard for her perfect grade point.“One thing that really helped with all the essay writing required in philosophy was to allow for one week of nothing more than thinking of the essay topic and the next week to actually write it,” says McKay. “I found that walking my dogs was the best time to ruminate over a topic.”
