Management Career Services is proud to announce 3rd year Commerce student Melissa Mackie as the recipient of Dalhousie’s 2012 Co-op Student of the Year Award. Melissa was nominated by her recent supervisor, Leslie Flemming of 2nd Act Innovations in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Flemming confirms, “Melissa is, without a doubt, one of the most impressive students I have ever met. She is an amazingly talented, intelligent and motivated young woman who has impressed us with the quality of her work, positive attitude and willingness to accept any challenge presented to her.”

Thus far Melissa has completed two co-op work terms as part of her Dalhousie Bachelor of Commerce degree, first as a Human Resources Co-ordinator at LED Roadway Lighting Limited and second as a Marketing and Communications Intern at 2nd Act Innovations. Melissa’s extensive volunteer experience with various not-for-profit organizations and student societies has developed her skill set, strengthened her résumé and expanded her connections within the Halifax business community.

As recipient of Dalhousie’s Co-op Student of the Year Award, Melissa will move forward to compete at the national level in hopes of being named the Canadian Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE) Co-op Student of the Year.
