King's celebrates gold medal award winners

King’s is proud of the hard work and dedication displayed by the 2019 King’s Gold Medal Award winners, who received their awards on June 19, 2019, at Spring Convocation. Gold Medal Awards are given to the graduate in each category with the highest average in the last year of their module to recognize outstanding academic achievement. A common thread that tied together many of the recipients of the 2019 King’s Gold Medal Awards was the overwhelming support of King’s faculty and staff that helped these students feel supported throughout their journey at King’s.
