Dean Miller scholarship

"It was a great honor to receive the Dean Miller Award through CPRS Vancouver. It had been my intention to apply for this award throughout my PR program at Kwantlen University. This drove me not only to be extremely diligent academically but also to become involved in different volunteer opportunities without which I would have missed a lot of great experiences.  

When I look at past winners of the award, I am honored to be on a list alongside them. It has given me the confidence and encouragement needed when starting out on a PR career. While currently looking to start my career, I know that having this award on my resume sets me apart from others in the industry.

- Lydia Frey, 2011 Dean Miller Award winner

“Winning the Dean Miller Award in June 2009 had a profound effect on my PR career. The award inspired me to work hard in school, volunteer my PR skills to worthy causes and ultimately helped me to get my first job in PR.

It was at the Dean Miller Award presentation that I was introduced to Alyn Edwards, a partner at Peak Communicators, and my future boss. Without the Dean Miller Award I likely wouldn’t have had the opportunity to get one-on-one face time with a partner at a top Vancouver media relations agency.

The Dean Miller Award gave me an edge in Vancouver’s highly competitive PR job market. I recommend applying for the award.”

- Jenn Currie, 2009 Dean Miller Award winner
