Shannon Clark wins national scholarship from Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety - In the News

Mohawk College student Shannon Clark was one of two recipients of the national Dick Martin Scholarship Award from the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety.

Shannon and Justin Turcotte (University of Victoria) will each be awarded $3,000. Additionally, their respective academic institutions will each receive $500.

Each year, the Dick Martin Scholarships are awarded to post-secondary students enrolled in a program leading to an occupational health and safety certificate, diploma, or degree from an accredited Canadian college or university. The scholarships are intended to support interest in and encourage the pursuit of careers in the field of occupational health and safety. Winners are selected by a panel of occupational health and safety technical specialists based on criteria that include submitting an essay on injury prevention or research on a specific hazard and risk.

Information about the Dick Martin Scholarship Award can be found on the CCOHS website: www.ccohs.ca/scholarships.
