Celebrating student success
Twice a year, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ (ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½) holds student awards ceremonies recognizing and celebrating the accomplishments of talented and deserving students enrolled in the vast range of programs offered at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½.
On Friday, June 9, the spring awards ceremony took place at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½’s Broadway campus where the awarded in excess of $138,000 in scholarships and awards. ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½’s scholarships and awards are established to recognize academic excellence and to acknowledge students who demonstrate leadership in the classroom or in their community. Many award recipients have overcome significant obstacles and financial barriers to pursue their studies. These awards help encourage and support students in their journey to academic and career success.
Each time ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ hosts student award ceremonies, one award is selected to video profile. It is difficult to single out one generous donor, or one deserving student, as ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ is blessed with a wealth of deserving and amazing student and donor stories. This season, we profiled Eric Mendoza, a student in adult special education at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½. His award comes from the family of Carol Thomson, and honours a student with learning disabilities.
With many donor representatives in attendance, the awards ceremonies provide a special opportunity for donors to directly connect with the recipients of their awards and the chance for students—and ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½—to thank their donors in person.
