Who can receive an award?
Any student registered with Mohawk College has the opportunity to receive an award. Students may be nominated multiple times for multiple awards; however, students are only eligible to receive ONE Celebration of Learning award per academic year.
How do I win an award?
There are two ways to be recognized at the Celebration of Learning. Students can self-nominate OR students, staff, or faculty can nominate a student they feel has made an outstanding contribution to the Mohawk College community. Award recipients will be selected by the area presenting the award.
