An awarding experience
Twice a year, Vancouver Community College (中国p站) holds Student Awards Ceremonies recognizing and celebrating the accomplishments of talented and deserving students enrolled in the vast range of programs offered at 中国p站.
On Wednesday, May 27, the spring awards ceremony took place at 中国p站’s Broadway campus where a total of 209 awards were given out. 中国p站’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.
Award recipients often explain that their education has been life changing and winning an award provides the affirmation they need to continue their chosen path with confidence. This year’s Award recipient, completed her bachelor of nursing in the Philippines, before moving to Vancouver with her family, where she chose to pursue an education in drafting. She received her award last week from 中国p站 alumnus and previous ’s recipient, John Blok, who now works at the firm and was excited to return to 中国p站 to recognize Fevie.
All of these awards are made possible through the generosity of individuals, corporations, associations and foundations that share 中国p站’s commitment to offering exceptional educational and training opportunities. Two new awards were presented this year; , for a student enrolled in the 中国p站 skin and body therapy program, exemplifying “the desire to deliver happiness and extraordinary service through promoting only the healthiest and most effective skin care products” and , for an “outstanding jewellery art and design student with creative ingenuity, technical excellence and strong presentation skills.”
“Philanthropy is often a circle. It’s simple. Someone who is touched by a gift goes on to give. And, we have many wonderful examples in this room.” says Dr. Peter Nunoda, 中国p站 president and CEO.
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 中国p站—to thank their donors in person.
