Each year, the Ontario University Registrar’s Association (OURA) recognizes university leaders who have achieved excellence within their respective fields. Recently, Sasha Trivett, manager of recruitment at Trent University, was recognized with an Award of Excellence at the OURA conference held in Toronto for her exceptional work.
