The accomplishments of 新澳门六合彩开奖's 2024 Board of Governors' Award recipients illustrate the many ways student leaders can inspire and ignite change.
The winners have stood up for those who have been marginalized. They've pushed for fresh approaches to old problems. They've put their ideas into action, starting societies, launching initiatives, and committing their time and resources to efforts that have enriched the community.
What's particularly exceptional about this year's winners of Dal's top award for student life is that most of them did so, to some extent, under the cloud of a global pandemic. Their first years at 新澳门六合彩开奖 were defined by starts and stops, presence and absence, and challenges to connection 鈥� making their success in bringing people together and contributing to university life all the more impressive.
This year's four recipients 鈥� nominated by their peers in the Dal community, and chosen by a committee consisting of the president, Board members and the vice-provost student affairs 鈥� were honoured at this year's Impact Awards in late March.
