Scholarships and smiles at Timmins graduation ceremony!
The graduates were all smiles as they received their diplomas from President Daniel Giroux, who was visibly pleased to be able to present them in person. This ceremony was also an opportunity to present scholarships from local organizations and businesses worth $16,650.
A look back at two very emotional years
The honor of representing the Timmins 2022 cohort went to Julie Thibodeau, a graduate of the Social Work Techniques program who admitted to feeling nostalgic and having mixed emotions upon receiving her diploma. She confirmed that Collège Boréal was the right choice for her, “I couldn’t have asked for a better place to do it,” she remarked, before recounting some of the anecdotes that many have experienced during the many courses offered by Zoom.
Governor General’s Academic Medal
The Governor General’s Academic Medal, awarded to a full-time student who has achieved the highest grade point average in a two-year degree program, was awarded this year to Gabriella Varagnolo, a graduate of the Child Care Education program in Windsor.
