Gary Hwe Shen Seow – Michael Power St. Joseph High School, Etobicoke, Ontario
Gary Seow is a Computer Science teacher, role model, and champion of student success. His nominator, Erhowvosere Otubu (BASc’26), credits Mr. Seow for teaching him how to believe in himself when it feels impossible, which has been a source of motivation in his academic and extracurricular pursuits.
“Beyond academics, Mr. Seow modeled integrity, compassion, and a genuine commitment to student success, often going above and beyond by checking in on students’ wellbeing and creating space for conversations about our futures… Since being here at Queen’s, he continues to motivate me and provide guidance whenever I need a mentor, proving that his commitment to his students doesn’t end after high school.”
