Congratulations to two of our LHC Peer Student Success Team mentors, Jennifer Nguyen and Mehran Nayeem, both of whom were big winners at last week's Golden Bronco Awards. Each year, the Office of Student Engagement (OSE) honors the student leaders and organizations that shape campus life through Golden Broncos. This annual awards ceremony recognizes excellence, leadership, collaboration, and impact across Registered Student Organizations (RSOs). Jennifer (pictured upper left) received the Outstanding Student Leader of the Year award for her work with RSOs including the Professional Asian Pilots Association at Western and the ECO Broncos. Mehran (pictured lower right) was honored with the Greek Emerging Leader of the Year award for his contributions within the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Congratulations to Jennifer and Mehran on this well deserved recognition!
