ACC alumni recognized for achievements at annual event

ACC's Alumni Association honoured four members of its alumni community last week at the fifth annual Alumni Advancement dinner at the college’s North Hill Campus.

Clint Jensen, a ‘90 graduate of the Business Administration program, was presented with the Distinguished Alumni Award. Following a 23-year-long career with Kraft Foods, he is currently the director of sales, Atlantic Region for Snyder’s Lance and resides in Charlotte, N.C.

“It was such an honor and I am extremely grateful for the award I received,” said Jensen. “It reinforced what an exciting and rewarding journey I have had in the consumer packaged goods industry over the past 25 years and just as importantly, how it all started with the education and life lessons I received during my time at ACC.”

Brad Lyall graduated from ACC’s Electrical Engineering Technology program in 1986 and was selected as this year’s recipient of the Community Service Award. Lyall has been a staple in the Brandon sports community over the past decades, volunteering his time to coach youth soccer, hockey and baseball teams.

Katelyn Rempel, a graduate of the Business Administration in 2012, was awarded with the One to Watch award. Rempel is currently the general manager of Rotary Villas. She has previously been an active member of the Rotary Club of Brandon.

The Excellence in Teaching award was presented to Dean Johnson, an instructor in the college’s Network Administration Technology program. He has been a faculty member since 2011, having graduated from the college’s Computer Systems Technology program in 2001 and working with the Brandon Regional Health Authority for over a decade before returning to ACC.
