Congratulations to our 4th Annual Dalhousie Top Co鈥憃p Award Winners
» Go to news main
As with many other events this year, the fourth-annual Dalhousie Top Co-op Awards was officially postponed back in March 2020, just as the pandemic made it impossible to gather together.聽
Since an in-person event seems unlikely for some time, it remains important to us that we recognize our student and employer winners, even if it鈥檚 done virtually this year. This is our opportunity to thank those who support the co-op program by providing meaningful work experiences to our students, while acknowledging just a few of our brilliant students.聽聽
Without further ado, we are pleased to share the winners of this year鈥檚 Top Co-op Awards!
