Many students come to NorQuest with diverse lived experiences. They’ve broken down barriers, overcome challenges, and accomplished achievements they never thought possible.
The Transformation Award celebrates a NorQuest Alumni who exhibits incredible resilience and has not only transformed their life but has also impacted the lives of others in their workplaces and communities.
This award represents a NorQuest graduate who:
- Has an inspiring story of overcoming barriers
- Continues to help others navigate their own challenges
- Has displayed resilience when faced with adversity
- Inspires others to share their voice
Education can play a powerful piece in someone’s journey. We are excited to celebrate alumni that have transformed their lives, and are using their position to help others do the same.
— Josie Tan, Alumni Relations Officer, NorQuest College
