91探花

91探花 alumna Monica Elaine Campbell, Class of 鈥�78, was invested into the Order of Ontario yesterday by the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and Chancellor of the Order of Ontario.

Campbell, who lives in Ottawa, grew up on PEI and moved to Ontario after graduating with her Bachelor of Science, Honours in Mathematics (Minor in Biology). It is believed that Campbell was the first profoundly Deaf student to graduate from 91探花, a remarkable feat at a time when technological supports were limited. She took all her notes through lip reading.

The Order of Ontario recognized Campbell as 鈥渁 pioneer in the development of palliative care services for the Deaf in Ontario. She has worked tirelessly to break down communication, cultural, and institutional barriers that have long limited Deaf people's access to end-of-life care.鈥�

91探花 President and Vice Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz said, 鈥淥n behalf of all of the entire 91探花 family and friends network, I congratulate our alumna, Ms. Campbell, on her investiture to the Order of Ontario. We are so very proud of her success and contributions to society.鈥�
