(A record 61 graduates from Confederation College's campus in Fort Frances received diplomas and certificates at Tuesday's Convocation Ceremonies at the Townshend Theatre)An Atikokan woman has won Confederation College's highest awards a graduating student can receive - doing so without stepping into a classroom.
Barbara Kwasnicia earned three awards, including the prestigious Governor General's Academic Medal, after completing the Social Service Worker program through distance education.
She's the College's first distance ed student to receive the award.
"I hope that it just shows not only other people in the region who have to access education through distance education," says Kwasnicia, "that you don't have to be fresh out of high school to do it and anyone who wants it bad enough can be successful."
Kwasnicia was one of a record 61 students to receive diploma and certificates at Convocation ceremonies held Tuesday night for graduates from the campus in Fort Frances.
