Juliana MacEwen, a lab assistant in Holland College’s Medical Support Services program, has been presented with the Vivian Prokop Mirchandani Mentorship Award by Futurpreneur Canada.

In addition to her work with Holland College students, MacEwen owns Precision Digital, a document management company. She was nominated for the award for her exemplary mentorship of young entrepreneurs. MacEwen provided the young women she was mentoring with moral support and guidance in everything from staffing to business planning.
