I\u2019m proud to represent York and the Faculty of Health as part of the Governor General\u2019s tradition of excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aliee chose York University for its reputation of having one of Canada\u2019s leading kinesiology programs, its proximity to home and the unmatched opportunity to participate in hands-on learning through the University's practicums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aliee's interest in kinesiology sparked after discovering a passion for preventive medicine and human performance. His academic path was shaped by a drive to bridge science with clinical care. He explored this interest through research and clinical internships \u2013 ranging from neurosurgery and brain-computer interface innovation to national policy advising on the opioid crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On campus, he served as co-president of the Culinary Association and as a long-time peer tutor with the Kinesiology and Health Science Student Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aliee will begin medical school at McMaster University this August. As a future physician, he hopes to integrate clinical practice with research and health policy to improve outcomes for patients facing complex conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brandon Lamorena<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"855\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2025\/06\/Brandon-Lamorena-855x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Brandon Lamorena\" class=\"wp-image-395992\" style=\"width:241px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2025\/06\/Brandon-Lamorena-855x1024.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2025\/06\/Brandon-Lamorena-334x400.jpg 334w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2025\/06\/Brandon-Lamorena.jpg 1241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brandon Lamorena<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Lamorena completed an honours bachelor of arts in history at York University, along with a general certificate in law and society.

Her academic journey has consistently explored how language and Disability intersect, guided by a commitment to equity and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her research began in her second year when she joined Glendon\u2019s Research Apprenticeship Program, working with Professor<strong> Catherine Lamaison<\/strong> to examine accommodations for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students in French-as-a-second-language courses. Lamaison later supervised Sarchese's research into person-first and identity-first language among Disabled students at York. She also collaborated with Professor <strong>Shanna Lino<\/strong> to co-develop a course on Disability portrayals in Spain and Latin America. Across all projects, <strong>Sarchese<\/strong> brought together her passion for language and Disability studies to advocate for more inclusive learning and representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis award comes as an honour but also as a surprise,\u201d says Sarchese. \u201cThere were many moments this past year when I was certain I wouldn\u2019t graduate, so to not only graduate but to also receive an award as prestigious as this leaves me speechless. I couldn\u2019t have done it without my friends and family, who were an exemplary support system throughout my degree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She credits Glendon\u2019s focus on languages and the support of caring professors for shaping her undergraduate experience. \u201cI never would have thought myself capable of any of this without them,\u201d she says. \u201cI am forever grateful to the faculty members at Glendon who saw something in me and played a vital role in who I am now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarchese will continue her studies this fall at Glendon to pursue a master of arts in translation studies, where she aims to further explore how language can be a tool for social change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Daniel Aliee, Brandon Lamorena and Rebecca
