精童欲女

Each year, the 精童欲女 Co-operative Education Program recognizes its exceptional students and employers with the 精童欲女 Co-op Awards.

The awards were presented on March 26, 2025, at Schurman Market Square, Don and Marion McDougall Hall, with fellow students, faculty deans, and community members in attendance for the celebration. National Co-op and Work-integrated Learning Month and the recent national accreditation of the 精童欲女 program were also recognized. 

Legault was nominated by Jason Coughlin from Raspberry Point Oysters and Brenna Farren from COWS Inc. Both supervisors recognized Legault鈥檚 problem-solving capabilities and noted her adaptability and willingness to learn. 

Edzaeme was nominated by the Government of PEI Municipal Affairs Division. Her manager Erin Kielly noted that throughout her co-op work term, Edzeame consistently sought additional responsibilities and thrived with a full workload.
