The 2024 winners of the prestigious Frank H Sobey Awards were recently announced, and for the first time in the award's history, Acadia has emerged with two recipients.
Alex Dulay and Cole Sanford were among eight winners selected from a pool of 32 high-quality nominees for the honour. The Sobey Awards are given to Atlantic Canadian business students who have demonstrated a high level of entrepreneurship, a commitment to supporting the communities in which they live and work, and relevant employment experience. In addition to the distinction, each winner receives a prize of $45,000.
Acadia's Director of the Manning School of Business Administration, Dr. Kristin Williams, had the pleasure of endorsing the successful nominations.
"Alex and Cole are bright, passionate, and thoughtful students who are very deserving of this honour," said Dr. Williams. "They both demonstrate tenacity and great entrepreneurial instincts, characteristics that we're thrilled to foster at the F.C. Manning School of Business and through Acadia's immersive education and unbeatable access to engaged industry leaders and professors."
Previous Acadia winners of the Frank H Sobey Award include Kirsten Lawrence (2023), Guy Harrison-Murray (2021), and Jenna Robertson (2019).
