The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) presented Lisa Kuiper with a certificate this week for helping the force’s Pro-Active Recruiting Unit.

Kuiper, who is the employer developer/events and marketing co-ordinator in Career Services, was instrumental in the creation of the first stand-alone RCMP recruiting office at a university.

Through her efforts, the RCMP reached out to many students who may not have considered the RCMP as an employer of choice, said Const. Bob Nichols and Const. Yolanda Macarthur when presenting the certificate this week.

“This one-on-one interaction has enhanced our relationship with not only Brock University, but with our student clients as well,” they said. “We were able to meet with the students face-to-face and spend quality time in a relaxed and informal setting, allowing meaningful dialogue to be created.”

Kuiper exemplifies the RCMP attributes of “honesty, integrity and reliability above all,” the officers said.
