In its 30 years existence, no student from Ottawa campus has ever won the award, a feat that was finally broken in its 2022 edition by Ernest.

The Herzing cup involves submissions from various campuses nominating their best students each year to a panel of nearly 50 judges.

After a career in ExxonMobil in his birth country Nigeria which ended with Ernest having to opt for voluntarily retirement, Ernest decided to relocate with his family to Canada, and re-skill at Herzing after authoring 2 books (The Potent Force of Sponsorship and his latest – The Audacious Faith) on self-improvement based on his experiences while at Exxon.

This is an amazing story for tenacity and self-development.
