Sean Wetselaar, The Eyeopener

Original nomination:

For a second year journalism student Sean Wetselaar is already making his name in the newspaper world. He was the first journalist in Toronto to break the story that a young man, Alaa Hejazi, charged in a double sexual assault was a Ryerson student. Wetselaar became the Arts and Life editor for Ryerson's paper only halfway through his first year, and has now taken on the role of news editor. He takes the role seriously, but has fun with it. If he doesn't have enough reporters one week, he'll take on writing two or three stories himself in addition to editing the rest and organizing his layout. His section is always a pleasure to read, and often filled with news stories I wasn't even aware of happening. His dedication to the paper on top of school makes him stand out and shine.
