Close to 50 colleagues, family and friends gathered at the annual Ovation Awards ceremony on November 27 to celebrate the three winners of the 2025 VP-Dean’s Ovation Awards. Daniel Baril, Donna MacFarlane and Plinio Queiroz Da Cruz received the Anne McCormick, Pamela Chase and Priyabrata “PB” Mukhopadhyay Awards respectively. 

Hosted by Lesley Fellows, MDCM, DPhil, Vice-President (Health Affairs) and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, the memorable event applauded the winners’ exceptional work and outstanding contributions to the Faculty, and also recognized those who were nominated for the three award categories in 2025.
