Assiniboine Community College's Alumni Association has announced the recipients of this year's alumni awards. Five of them are going to residents of the Parkland region and will be presented at an Advancement Dinner event in Dauphin this fall.
The Distinguished Alumni Award, which is given to graduates of the college who have distinguished themselves in both their chosen profession and their community, is being presented to Tere Stykalo. He is a partner of MNP in Dauphin and received his Business Administration diploma with Assiniboine in 1991 before going on to getting his Certified General Accounting designation in 1998 (now Chartered Professional Accountant). Stykalo is also an active volunteer in the community with a strong focus on the agriculture industry.
The One to Watch Award is being presented to Parkland residents Jadelyn McKay, Kayla Gillis and Nicole Koroway. It's also being presented to Dallas Flett-Wapash who studied at the Victoria Avenue East campus in Brandon.
The Excellence in Education Award is being presented to Retired Instructor Kent Wieb from the School of Business, who served the college for 21 years. The award is also being presented to Carla Gibson, a full-time instructor in the Social Service program since 2015, from Brandon.
