Co-op Student of the Year

Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning Canada聽(CEWIL) annually seeks nominations for the Co-op Student of the Year Award. If you have given your student an "Outstanding" rating on the evaluation form and provide a letter of support, they become eligible for this national award.

The letter should briefly list the student's duties and responsibilities, describe how the student performed in comparison with your expectations and describe the outstanding achievements on the job which you feel warrant consideration for this award. Please email (mcs@dal.ca)聽your letter back to our office.

A selection committee at the Faculty of Management will select one final candidate (in January of each year) whose dossier is forwarded to Toronto for consideration at the national CEWIL level. The award brings acclaim to the student, employer and university and includes a cash award for the student.
