In the month of November, the Experiential Learning and Career Development Team will be hosting their second social media contest. We’re inviting third and fourth year SAF students to share a piece of advice from one of their co-op terms (on-the job) that you think other students would find helpful (hint: check your reflection). You must post the piece of advice on the Experiential Learning and Career Development Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/SAF-Experiential-Learning-and-Career-Development/1492213051010572). Please attach the hashtag #SafCoopAdvice for your chance to win a $100 gift card. One student will be randomly selected. The contest will run from November 1st to 30th.

The second phase of the contest will commence December 1st. All SAF students will be encouraged to review the pieces of advice and like their favourtie piece of advice. The piece of advice that has the most likes will win a $100 gift card. As well, a student will be randomly selected who has liked a status to win a $100 gift card.
