Top Co-Op Student—Again

4th-year biomedical physiology and kinesiology student, Mona Jalili, won the 2009 Canadian Association of Co-operative Education’s Co-op Student of the Year award. She is the fourth SFU student to win the award since 2002. Jalili’s high cumulative grade-point average and natural aptitude for laboratory-based and clinical research contributed to her award-winning co-op work terms in the SFU lab of Stephen Robinovitch, Canada Research Chair in injury prevention and mobility biomechanics. Her research results, related to fall prevention in older adults, won the 2009 Best Undergraduate Research Award from the biomedical physiology and kinesiology department.
