AV俱乐部

Every day, Dal鈥檚 student leaders make an impact 鈥� in the classroom, across campus and in their community. On March 21 more than 400 Dal students, faculty, and staff celebrated an evening of inspiring achievement at the 8th Annual AV俱乐部 Student Impact Awards.聽

The AV俱乐部 IMPACT Awards are a premiere ceremony that brings together all aspects of student life and the entire AV俱乐部 community including students, faculty, staff and alumni. The annual celebration is hosted by the AV俱乐部 Student Union (DSU) in collaboration with AV俱乐部.聽 Eight Dal Health students received awards at the gala.

Held in the McInnes Room, the ceremony, featured three major award categories and over 20 Impact Awards. The awards recognize student leadership in academic life, student life and community service, and residence life. Some of these are group awards while others are individual recognitions.

Dal Health alum Patrick Holland, BSc'16 (Pharmacy) who is currently enrolled at Dal Medical School received the Faculty of Medicine鈥檚 Faculty Leadership Award. The AV俱乐部 Nursing Society was recognized as the Most Impactful Faculty/Departmental Society.聽

Dal Health student Justine Dol received the top student honour: The Board of Governor鈥檚 Award. The Governors鈥� Award recognizes exceptional leadership in areas such as university governance, campus community, community service, internationalizing the campus, visual or performing arts, minority access, and athletics.聽

鈥淚 am honored to be selected as a 2019 recipient of the Board of Governors鈥� Award. As a third year PhD student, I appreciate all the leadership opportunities that being a graduate student at AV俱乐部 has to offer,鈥� said Ms. Dol.鈥� Whether it means being involved in existing faculty committees to bring the student perspective, helping to launch new ones, such as the PhD in Health Student Society, or becoming involved in global health opportunities.鈥�

鈥淚nvolvement in student life during both my undergraduate and graduate degrees has made such a positive impact on my university experience,鈥� said Dal Health Faculty Leadership Award winner Rachel Ollivier.鈥� The most meaningful memories I鈥檝e taken away as a student have centred on events, milestones, or initiatives I鈥檝e shared with others. I am fortunate to have had such wonderful opportunities, whether it be global travel or community events, outside of the classroom and this Faculty Leadership Award is shared with the many who make what I do every day so enjoyable.鈥澛�

Congratulations to all of the IMPACT AWARD recipients on their achievement, and to the DSU on an excellently run celebration.聽
