Krista Hall - Governor General’s Medal

Krista Hall - Governor General’s Medal

“Krista excelled at all her classes and demonstrated a keen awareness of her ability to impact her results. Her diligence in learning and meeting the expectations/deadlines of the courses propelled her to the top of all of her classes.

Krista’s superior academic performance was not without struggles and required juggling many demands. Krista acknowledged, owned and overcame struggles and balanced those demands with an end goal in mind. We/I would like to think that her end goal has been achieved and/or a significant step towards her goal was achieved with her graduation and stellar performance at Assiniboine.

Krista’s ownership of her results was impressive and inspiring – she sought assistance when needed, worked hard and smart, and demonstrated a maturity and professionalism that is admirable and a pleasure to witness at school, at work and in our world. We wish Krista the best and would like to thank her for being part of our college. We are proud to call Krista a fellow alumni and look forward to her success in the future.”

Michael Peters - Lieutenant Governor’s Silver Medal

Michael Peters - Lieutenant Governor’s Silver Medal

Mike is a really nice person. He is kind and caring towards others. He shows great patience in team settings and is always respectful of others. Because we worked together intensely as part of the Design Thinking Challenge, I saw Mike under pressure and can say that he never lost these strong characteristics.

Mike is someone who others find themselves gravitating to for a “shoulder to lean on“. I know that his teammates in the Design Thinking Challenge often called upon him as a friendly ear to listen to the challenges they faced. Mike took on a leadership role within the team and this came naturally to him. He possesses very strong interpersonal skills, which allows him to effectively bring people together toward a collective goal.

And finally, Mike is a hard worker. He is an organized person who likes to tackle projects and problems head on! He is ready to put in the long hours to get the job done. I can say with confidence that Mike is definitely someone I would want on my team.

Matt successfully completed the academic portion of the Practical Nursing program, finishing his senior practicum on an acute medical ward at the Brandon General Hospital.

Matt was awarded the ACCSA Pat Josephson Memorial Award for college involvement and leadership – which attests to the great leadership skills he has demonstrated as a member of the Students’ Association. Matt was not only a leader on the Students’ Association, but he was also a leader for the practical nursing students. He used his knowledge and expertise in technology to help facilitate the switch from classroom to on-line learning for his fellow classmates, by offering strategies for studying remotely, and facilitating small group study sessions. He has always maintained a professional and positive attitude, he is reliable and dependable, and exhibits energy and enthusiasm in all that he does. Matt is a natural leader and mentor.
