Fourth-year Bachelor of Health Sciences student Ervis Musa has been named the recipient of the Sharon Johnston Youth Award, one of seven Champions of Mental Health awards handed out by the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health (CAMIMH).

Musa, who is also completing a certificate in Disability and Physical Activity, received the award primarily in recognition of three student-led initiatives that aim to assist other students in establishing a stronger foundation to build from: NetworkYou, Easy A Tutoring, and AdviseMe Real Estate. 

Pearl Esquivel graduated in June 2022 from the online Bachelor of Health Sciences. Pearl initially joined the program through our Articulation Agreement with St. Lawrence College (Pre-Health Sciences Pathway to Advanced Diplomas and Degrees). She agreed to answer some questions about her experience in the program.

Last month, the Bachelor of Health Sciences welcomed the first cohort of graduates from the on-campus program to our growing group of alumni at Convocation. These six students all joined the BHSc program as a part of the first ever on-campus cohort in 2019 and have now graduated with the BHSc General Degree in 2022.  

As a program, we are so proud of our newest alumni and the hard work that they’ve put into their studies. We can’t wait to see what they do next.
