#1 Cory Norman - $1000
plus $1000 donation to University of Alberta
Edmonton Office - University of Alberta
"My experience this summer has been one of personal growth and broadened horizons. I had career
‘blinders’ on due to my engineering background and I didn’t realize where this opportunity could take me. All
I committed to was putting in my best effort and using the results to determine if this job was for me. I
learned quickly that what I put in was what I would get out of the sales position. The positive office
atmosphere and highly motivated people around me were the first indications that this summer was going to
be a learning experience. I was challenged to push my boundaries by my District Manager and have taken
huge strides towards being a fearless and effective public speaker. Through working tirelessly towards my
goals, I learned the value of balance and time management. The places I’ve traveled to, relationships I’ve
made, and skills I’ve gained will positively impact the rest of my life. I send a heartfelt thanks to everybody
I’ve met through Vector because I truly am a product of the program and the people around me"

#2 Dominik Mignault - $500
Ottawa Office - University of Ottawa
"There are no words to describe how my summer went - I still feel like I'm in a dream right now!
It’s unbelievable all the experiences I've had - all the friends I've made, and all the places I’ve
gone. I’ve met great people and I want to thank every single person that helped me in one way
or another for the incredible time I’ve had at Vector. Best of all, I can't even call this a job
because this summer I felt like I was having so much fun and living life to the fullest - not actually
working! Like I’ve said "Cutco is more than a knife, it's a way of life!"

#3 Daniel Pastewka - $400
Calgary Office - University of Calgary
"I started with Vector in June with two goals in mind: to step out of my comfort zone and to learn
certain skills that schools don’t teach. I wasn’t disappointed. I can honestly say that I have
undergone more growth during this summer than any other. Because of Vector, I understand the
importance of planning my time, setting goals, writing them down and relentlessly pursuing them.
I’ve learned how to maintain a positive attitude when having a bad day and the Vector
experience has really enforced the importance of having determination in attaining my goals.
Vector allowed me to improve my communication skills and practice public speaking. Thanks to
my managers and my customers for their support! Number 3…VERY NICE!"

#4 Shayla Dupont - $300
Calgary Office - University of Calgary
"I am so excited to be the #4 Scholarship Winner! This was the best summer I have ever had for
so many reasons. Not only was I able to achieve placement in the Scholarship Race as an
Assistant Manager, I was also able to take a class, do a triathalon, work a trade show, travel to
L.A. and Europe and pay my tuition. Working in the Calgary office with Angie, Jen Mo, Jen Lo,
Grayham, Vonny and everyone else was a lot of fun and a great learning experience! There is
nothing more exciting than working hard all summer in the #1 office and knowing you were a big
part of the success! Thanks to my family, friends and customers for all of their support this
summer. I’m looking forward to an awesome fall campaign!"

#5 Peter Altbaum - $200
Montreal Office - Concordia University
"I never thought at the start of the summer that I would be selling knives, but it’s easily been the
best summer of my life. I never would have been able to make it if it weren’t for the support of
the managers who kept me on track and in line every day. The income opportunity is almost
secondary to the friends and experiences I’ve had this summer, and I can’t wait until next
summer to do it all over again."
