Event Description
In recognition of her achievements, the Mary John Award of Excellence is presented annually to a CNC student who exemplifies Mary’s community service and dedication to language and cultural revitalization. The Award is open to all Indigenous students of the College of New Caledonia.
The award recipient will be presented with a ring, commissioned specifically for the Mary John Award. In addition, they will be given a $500 bursary for CNC and will be publicly acknowledged at Convocation.
