AMS Club Awards
Clubs make unique and important contributions to the Queen’s community. The work that they do ranges from activities that make university feel like home, to giving back to the community, locally or globally; and much more. Each year, the AMS Clubs Advisory Committee recognizes several clubs for their contributions and successes on campus and in the community. The Club Awards are designed to recognize three AMS-ratified clubs that have demonstrated measurable growth and whose initiative and dedication to the provision of the activities/services they provide constitutes a significant and positive contribution to the campus community. The awards are intended to recognize specific facets of club operation that merit recognition. The available awards shall be outlined below.
Award selection is made by the Club Awards Committee (Selection Committee) of the AMS Assembly, and presented at the annual AMS Awards Gala. For information on the Committee itself, please refer to Assembly Policy.
Jeffrey Mccarthy Award for Outstanding Individual Contribution
Jeffrey McCarthy Award for Outstanding Individual Contribution is an award which recognizes an individual who has made an important impact to the clubs community. Jeffrey McCarthy, Con-Ed ‘12, was a Queen’s student who created Queen’s Board Game Club, was the fourth Clubs Manager, created the Clubs Awards, and won an Agnes Benidickson Tricolour Award for his contribution to the Queen’s community. The awardee may be a member or executive of a club and can be involved in multiple clubs, who is recognized for outstanding commitment to the clubs’ community and whose work would otherwise go unnoticed.

Student recipients of the Jeffrey McCarthy Award must be nominated for contributions made to an AMS-ratified Club.
Recipients of the Jeffrey McCarthy Award may be nominated by executive of any club. Further, a student does not lose their eligibility if the club in which the recipient is a member receives a club award.
Any student may nominate another student via the nomination form made available by the Club’s Commission. The nomination form will prompt questions about:
The nominee’s membership in various clubs, and the relationship of the student filling out the form to the nominee.
How the nominee has demonstrated an outstanding contribution to clubs, and the reasons for the nomination.
