A huge congratulations to La Trobe University Bendigo graduate Stephanie Mein on winning the Bendigo Community Health Services Award.
The award was presented during the annual La Trobe University Prizes ceremony at Ulumbarra Theatre this week.
We have presented this award for more than a decade to recognise a high achieving La Trobe student in the field of health.
Stephanie grabbed the prize as the student in Bachelor of Health Sciences with the best academic and public health practice performance in second and third year field experience.
Stephanie thanked Bendigo Community Health Services for donating the award.
“The Bendigo Community Health Services Award inspires me to continue to use the knowledge and skills that I learnt during my time at university to improve health and wellbeing in Bendigo,” Stephanie said.
“The award also allows me to pursue further study in the public health field which I am very excited about.”
Stephanie graduated with a Bachelor of Public Health Promotion and has found employment in her hometown of Bendigo.
“I am working as the Learning and Development Support Officer at Intereach. My role involves supporting the learning and development of an organisation that plays a big part in empowering people to participate actively in the Bendigo community,” Stephanie said.
Stephanie also won the Penfold Public Health Research Prize as the student who achieved the highest average score across three specific public health subjects.
We congratulate all the La Trobe University Prize winners and wish them well into the future.
Thanks to La Trobe University for allowing us to be part of this great event and being part of the presentation night.
Well done all!
