When Ema Shiroma-Chao received the national New and Emerging Professionals Award, it was a moment years in the making from her childhood in Hong Kong, to studying violin in Montreal, to helping international students launch careers from Memorial University.
Presented by the Canadian Association of College and University Student Services, the award honours professionals working in student affairs and services for less than five years who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, growth and potential.
Simply being nominated by her colleagues Danielle Jackson in Career Development; Jennifer Browne in Student Life; and Chris Hibbs and Lynn Walsh in the Internationalization Office, was an honour in itself, she says.
