This just in from the Co-op Office!
Well done, Lia and Sacha-Bea!!!
Each year deserving students are nominated by employers for the Mount Co-op Student of the Year Awards. We are pleased that so many employers invested the time in recognizing students’ contributions to their organizations. The employer nominations and students’ personal statements are very rewarding to read.
The selection committee had the difficult task of choosing the Mount Co-op Student of the Year (2009) recipients. The selection criteria included academic achievement, community involvement, contribution to the employer, and the impact co-op has had on their personal and professional development.
The four Mount Co-op Student of the Year recipients for 2009 are:
Business Administration
Laura Smith (nominated by Nova Scotia Department of Energy)
Information Technology
Krista Quinn (nominated by Sisters of Charity)
Public Relations
Lia Scanlan (nominated by RCMP)
Tourism & Hospitality Management
Kyle Stubbs (nominated by Bayshore Inn)
Sacha-Bea Robert (nominated by Public Works and Government Services Canada) from the Public Relations program has also received an Honorable Mention.
The Final Selection Committee was comprised of:
Dr. Kim Kienapple - Director of Co-operative Education
Dr. Peter Mombourquette , Academic Chair Business & Tourism
Dr. Amy Thurlow, Academic Chair Public Relations
Sonya Horsburgh, Manager of Co-operative Education

These nominations are just one more example of how “Mount Co-op Students Work!” Congratulations!
