School of Health Administration Executive in Residence Robert Zed has been nominated as one of Canada's Top 10 Mentor Rockstars for 2013 as part of the Canadian Mentorship Challenge organized by Start Up Canada and the Canadian Youth Business Foundation.  The award aims to bring attention to entrepreneurship and the critical role mentoring plays in introducing young people to the world of business. Each of the 10 nominated individuals were assessed for their contributions of volunteer work and leadership development in their communities, with a winner to be named at a later date.

Robert became affiliated with the School of Health Administration in September, 2013 and contributes to the learning experience by holding office hours for one-on-one consultations, hosting round-table sessions on areas of particular interest for students, and arranging for guest speakers and presentations at the School.

Robert was nominated by Halifax area youth groups, but Master of Health Adminstration students would also like to thank him for his committment to bettering their educational experience, and for giving back to the community.  Congratulations Robert!
