Anna Dunn-Suen had a tremendous impact at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播, both on off the court. As a four-year member of the women鈥檚 volleyball team, she helped lead the Tigers to four consecutive AUS championship titles earning numerous individual awards along the way. A two-time AUS all-star, Dunn-Suen was named to the all-rookie team at the end of the 2013-14 season and earned AUS championship MVP and all-star nods in her last three conference championship tournaments.听

She鈥檚 volunteered on the Faculty of Medicine鈥檚 microbiology infectious disease clinical rounds and has coached at both the provincial and club levels.

She鈥檚 also been active on campus with the Special Tigers program and is a regular contributor to the CIBC Run for the Cure and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society鈥檚 Light the Night Walk.听
鈥淎nna Dunn-Suen is one of the most committed and hardest working student-athletes that I have ever had the privilege to coach,鈥� says 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 volleyball coach Rick Scott. 鈥淪he is a highly motivated and extremely disciplined individual who takes great pride in everything she does. Anna played a vital part in our four consecutive AUS women鈥檚 volleyball championship titles and in our success at the national level.鈥�
