In a year of unprecedented change and challenge, students in the D'Amore-McKim School of Business maintained an unwavering commitment to cooperative education and experiential learning, demonstrating agility, adaptability, and resilience.
Each year the D'Amore-McKim School of Business honors a select group of business students who have demonstrated excellence on co-op. The 2021 Co-op Award celebrates the diverse accomplishments of these students who exemplify Northeastern's vision of experiential learning.
“From their first day as a D'Amore-McKim student, experiential learning becomes a natural way of life,” says Esther C. Chewning, Assistant Dean, D'Amore-McKim School of Business Cooperative Education. “While on co-op, students engage in problem-solving, creative thinking, and develop leadership competencies that prepare them for the future of work. Congratulations to the 2021 Co-op Award winners! Embrace your potential and go impact the world!”
