Ewan received the Mel Penn New Member Award for his contributions as Co-Chair of the 2017 European Conference. Along with his co-chair Natalia Milani from IE Business School, Ewan led a volunteer team in the successful execution of this growing event, which drew over 160 attendees from Europe and beyond to Lisbon, Portugal. Ewan took on the role as co-chair after having been on the conference committee for one year, and a member of the organization for two. Ewan is also brand new to the career services industry, which makes his contributions all the more impressive. He reached outside of his comfort zone to take on this role, and the results were tremendous.
