On November 17, Concordia Professor Emerita Sandra Paikowsky was invested as a member to the Order of Canada, alongside notable Canadians such as authors Joseph Boyden and Rohinton Mistry and historian Margaret MacMillan.
Paikowsky, who received her BA from Sir George Williams University in 1967, was named to the Order of Canada for her contributions to the development of Canadian art history as a discipline.
“It is an absolute thrill to have received the Order of Canada," says Paikowsky, who retired in 2010 after 41 years as a faculty member in the Department of Art History.
“At the same time, it's an honour that I want to share with everyone I collaborated with at the Journal of Canadian Art History, the Department of Art History and the Faculty of Fine Arts at Concordia, and the former Concordia Art Gallery, as well as colleagues and friends everywhere,” she adds.
