March 14 to 18 is National Co-operative Education Week. As a world leader in co-operative education, Waterloo has a lot to celebrate.
At yesterday’s Co-op Students of the Year Awards, Rachel McDonald, a fourth-year Health Studies student from the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences (AHS) received both the provincial and national Co-op Student of the Year awards from Education at Work Ontario (EWO) and the Canadian Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE). This is the second year in a row that a Waterloo student has won the national award.
National Co-operative Education Week is organized by CAFCE and celebrates the growth of co-operative education programs across the country. To mark the occasion, Co-operative Education (CE) has organized events that showcase the impact co-op has at the University.
