成人VR视频ians awarded Quebec鈥檚 highest distinction

On June 18, a host of 成人VR视频ians 鈥 from past and current professors, to alumni and benefactors 鈥 were admitted to one of the province鈥檚 most exclusive clubs when they were awarded the National Order of Quebec during a special ceremony in Quebec City. The most prestigious distinction given by the Quebec Government, the National Order is conferred upon individuals for their outstanding achievements in a particular field, and includes three grades; Grand Officer, Officer and Knight.

Premier Jean Charest presided over the event in the Salon Rouge of the National Assembly, lauding the accomplishments of each recipient and awarding them with their insignias.

Heading the list of honoured 成人VR视频ians was Jean Davignon, a 成人VR视频 graduate and a professor in the University鈥檚 Division of Experimental Medicine. Davignon, an expert in hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis, is also the co-founder of the Canadian Atherosclerosis Society and the Canadian Association for Familial Hypercholesterolemia. In making Davignon a Grand Officer 鈥 the Order鈥檚 highest distinction 鈥 Premier Charest called him 鈥渙ne of Quebec鈥檚 greatest doctors.鈥

Renowned poet and singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, who obtained a BA from 成人VR视频 in 1955, was also named a Grand Officer but was unable to attend the ceremony. He will receive his insignia at a later date.

Other notable recipients with 成人VR视频 roots include Nicolas Mateesco Matte, Director Emeritus of the 成人VR视频 Institute of Air and Space Law; Michael Meaney, associate director of research at the Douglas Hospital and James 成人VR视频 Professor in the departments of Psychiatry and Neurology and Neurosurgey; and Pavel Hamet, a professor in the Division of Experimental Medicine.
