MSVU Co-op Student of the Year Awards (2023)

The MSVU Co-op Student of the Year Award was established in 1999 to recognize the achievements of MSVU co-op students and to mark the 20th anniversary of co-operative education at Mount Saint Vincent University. Each year, deserving students are nominated by employers for the MSVU Co-op Student of the Year Awards.

The selection committee had the difficult task of choosing one student from each discipline to be named MSVU Co-op Student of the Year (2023). The selection criteria included academic achievement, community involvement, contribution to the employer, and the impact co-operative education has had on personal and professional development.

We are pleased to announce this year’s recipients of the MSVU Co-op Student of the Year Award:
