The Lanier Phillips Award for international students has been established by the GCSU International Students Association Caucus. Lanier Phillips was an advocate who fought against racial discrimination throughout his life. An American navy officer, he was shipwrecked off the coast of St. Lawrence in 1942 during a time of racial segregation. Rescued and cared for by the people of St. Lawrence, Mr. Phillips realized that he was treated with equality, and this was his springboard to continue his fight against discrimination in the United States. In honour of his life’s work, the Lanier Phillips Award, valued at $300.00, will be given to an international student who demonstrates leadership skills, and as well advocates on behalf of others. The recipient would have demonstrated an involvement in student life, both within the international student community and the overall student body. Applicants should also have demonstrated both on campus and off campus involvement

The Grenfell Campus Student Union Teaching and Learning Awards was created in support of the Memorial University Teaching and Learning Framework. The awards are intended to recognize teachers who students believe need to be acknowledged for their dedication to teaching, learning and the progress of students in all aspects of life. Recognition of excellence in teaching is an important step to making teaching and learning a priority for all educators at Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland. 

This award recognizes a student who has made an outstanding contribution to the administration of the campus, whether in the delivery of programming, the development of policy, or the advancement of the campus.
