CERIC has announced the recipients of its Graduate Student Award, providing support for four graduate students to attend the Cannexus National Career Development Conference, January 23-25, 2017 in Ottawa.

The recipients are:

• Maxine Clarke, MSc candidate, Organizational Development, Pepperdine University
• Christopher Cook, MA candidate, Counselling Psychology, University of British Columbia
• Caitie Napodi, MEd candidate, Counselling Psychology, University of New Brunswick
• Jelena Radan, MSc candidate, Counselling Psychology, University of Calgary

The award, presented annually to select full-time graduate students studying career counselling or career development, provides free registration to Cannexus and $1,000 to cover expenses to attend the conference. The Cannexus conference promotes the exchange of information and explores innovative approaches in the areas of career counselling and career development.

Eligibility for the award is based on participation in CERIC’s Graduate Student Engagement Program (GSEP), which includes the submission of a one-page article on a career development topic for publication through ContactPoint or OrientAction.

GSEP encourages the engagement of Canada’s full-time graduate students whose academic focus is in career development and/or a related field.
