SURVEY ENGINEERING 

TECHNICIAN 

“…the most challenging and most 

satisfying accomplishment ” 

by Bill Henderson 

Survey Engineering Technician 

Construction Co-ordinator, UMA Engineering Ltd., 

Regina, Saskatchewan 

Getting my Survey Engineering 

Technician diploma from Loyalist College 

was the most challenging and most 

satisfying accomplishment I have ever 

experienced. After working as a Field 

Engineer for over twenty years, there was 

nothing I had not or could not build. I 

needed a new challenge and that was to 

move into a management position where 

I could share my knowledge and vast 

experience with other people. Having 

never turned on a computer until I went to 

Loyalist, I had my work cut out for me. I 

had been a surveyor since I was eighteen 

and I had no office experience at all. 

Now I am the Construction Coordinator 

for the biggest consulting engineering 

company in Canada and I am in charge of 

all of our surveying and inspection crews 

in the City of Regina. I deal with all of our 

clients and developers and also check 

and file the reports for our Land 

Development Department. I have been a 

Safety Officer since 1984 and I was just 

made the Regional Safety Monitor for our 

company. I could not have gotten this 

position without my diploma and training 

in AutoCAD, computer applications and 

technical communications. 

I made a lot of friends at Loyalist and I 

still talk to them when I can. Without their 

support I would not have made it. We had 

a lot of fun supporting each other when 

one of us was having a bad day.

Why Choose Loyalist College 

JOBS: 

Our grads get jobs. In province-wide surveys, Loyalist College 

consistently excels in graduate employment and graduate satisfaction. 

In Graduate Employment, 93.9 per cent of Loyalist 2005-06 

grads were employed within six months after graduation. 

This result compares to 90.1 per cent across the province. In the 

measure of Graduate Satisfaction, 82.2 per cent of Loyalist graduates 

were satisfied or very satisfied. 

“I was able to complete my program a week early because I was 

offered a position with the Belleville Police Department. It was 

exciting to know that there wouldn’t be any ‘pounding the pavement’ 

looking for a job following graduation – I already had one.” 

Michael Ferreira 

Police Foundations 

“I had my Psychology degree from the University of P.E.I. but was 

having problems finding work because I had no practical experience. 

Within the first month of my placement in Loyalist’s Accelerated 

Social Service Worker program, I was able to job out as I was offered 

employment at the Prince Edward County Children’s Aid.The 

professors worked with me so that I could complete my credits while 

working full time.This combination worked really well for me.The 

placement helped me get a job and I now have my diploma in 

addition to my degree.”

Loyalist Students Present Research Findings to 

Brighton Municipality 

The Brighton Municipal Council was presented with the findings 

and recommendations of two research projects conducted by Loyalist 

students Kiel Martin, Civil Engineering Technology and Chantal 

Elliott,Architectural Technology.“We gained an incredible amount of 

knowledge from their efforts,” said Bruce Davis, Chief Administrative 

Officer, Municipality of Brighton.“A scan of our municipal staff 

reveals that seven of our 34 employees are Loyalist grads and four 

others are graduates of other community colleges.A great testament to 

community college education.” 


HANDS-ON LEARNING: 

Environment Technology student Abigail Morkem came to Loyalist after 

completing her Biology degree at McMaster University.“I feel that the 

college learning style is much more hands-on and the topics are directly 

related to how you would use the skill in the workforce.At university, 

the learning style seemed much more a matter of memorizing huge 

quantities of information as well as learning general concepts and 

theories. College definitely touches more on application learning.The 

best part about my program is that you get the hands-on-training that 

employers are looking for.We get to use laboratory instruments that 

most colleges and universities don’t even have.” 


CHEMICAL ENGINEERING 

TECHNICIAN/TECHNOLOGY 

“I decided to go back for the third year” 

by Kelly Sedore 

Chemical Engineering Technician, 

Chemical Engineering Technology 2007 

Chemical Technologist, Queen’s University, Dept. of Chemical 

Engineering, Kingston, Ontario 

Loyalist was a great place to get to my 

education. After finishing the two-year 

Chemical Engineering Technician 

program, I decided to go back for the 

third year of the program because of the 

more specialized curriculum and potential 

for increased job opportunities – and I am 

glad I did. Class sizes were small and 

provided lots of one-on-one instruction 

with professors, and the skills I developed 

in my third-year studies helped me 

succeed in being hired as a Chemical 

Technologist at Queen’s University. 

My laboratory skills are vital to my job 

since I’m involved with running the labs 

for the undergraduates in the Chemical 

Engineering Department and helping 

graduate students with any questions 

they have regarding chemicals, 

equipment and other lab topics. 

I have many fond memories about my 

time at Loyalist - the interesting courses, 

all the labs that we got to perform and the 

awesome teaching staff. But my most 

cherished memories would be of all the 

great friends that I made over the past 

three years and all the great times we had 

both on and off campus. Best of all, we’re 

still having great times together, even 

though we’re not at Loyalist anymore. We 

also have our personally decorated lab 

coats and our end of the year shirts that 

we all designed and signed to help us 

remember the good old times.

ENVIRONMENTAL 

TECHNOLOGY 

“…consider a college that provides a 

hands-on education” 

by Chad Duff 

Environmental Technology 

Environmental Consultant, Quinte-Eco Consultants Inc. 

Belleville, Ontario 

I chose Loyalist because I was 

impressed with the focus their 

environmental program had on sciences. 

I stayed for the three year program 

because each and every course was 

relevant to the field. The instructors in the 

program are some of the brightest, most 

dedicated people I have ever met. They 

were an inspiration and I would not be 

where I am today without their support 

and guidance. 

As an Environmental Consultant in a 

small local firm, my responsibilities range 

from report writing to contaminated site 

remediation to sewer sampling. I need to 

keep up to date on training, regulations, 

and technologies to provide my clients 

with the best service possible. Loyalist 

did not teach me every skill I need to 

know in my job - no college could, as 

each job is different. But it was at Loyalist 

that I learned how to challenge myself 

and learn new skills. 

I strongly recommend that if you are 

interested in working in the environmental 

field that you consider a college that 

provides a hands-on education - Loyalist. 

Loyalist College Establishes Virtual Presence 

in Second Life 

Loyalist College is the first Canadian College to establish a 

presence in the social-networking simulation universe, Second Life. 

Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its 

“residents”. Loyalist has established a space on Edu Island, along 

with 18 other higher educational institutions worldwide. 



ATHLETICS: 

Loyalist’s athletic programs provide opportunities for all 

students to participate in a wide range of different sports - 

intercollegiate competition, recreation, outdoor education 

and instructional. 

“The highlight of my two years of playing varsity basketball at Loyalist 

was definitely during my first year when we came first in the Eastern 

Region – but as a whole package, it’s been the people I’ve met, the 

coaching staff, the road trips and the challenge of this level of 

competition. Being part of the team definitely helped ease my transition 

from high school to college.You get to meet students from all different 

programs, not just as teammates, but those that come to the games to 

cheer us on. I feel very honoured to receive the Male Athlete of the Year 

award. It’s going to be hard to leave, but I’ll be back to participate in any 

way that I can. Loyalist will continue to be part of who I am for many 

years to come.”

TECHNICIAN/TECHNOLOGY 

“…I too embarked on a scholastic path” 

by Nathalie Pye 

Biotechnology Technology 2006, Biotechnology & Bio-food Technician 

Laboratory Technologist, Bioniche Life Sciences, Belleville, Ontario 

I am a 34 year old, single mother of a 

beautiful eight year old boy. After the birth 

of my son, I found that working at the 

mall did not, and would not, provide a 

stable lifestyle for either of us. When my 

son started school, I too embarked on a 

scholastic path and enrolled in full-time 

studies at Loyalist College. 

In May 2005, I graduated on the Dean’s 

List with the Biotechnology Technician 

and Bio-food Technician diplomas. I 

decided to continue my studies in the fall 

for the advanced diploma and in May 

2006 graduated again on the Dean’s List 

with a Biotechnology Technologist 

Diploma. The week following graduation, I 

was hired as a Haematology Technician 

at MDS Laboratories in Belleville. This 

position helped me to gain laboratory 

experience while seeking a job more 

suited to my biotechnology studies. I 

achieved my career goal in January 

when Bioniche Life Sciences hired me as 

a Laboratory Technologist. I find my work 

challenging, financially rewarding and 

proof that focus and hard work really 

does pay off in the long run. 

Loyalist College also has transfer 

agreements with many universities. I am 

currently working towards my degree 

part-time while I work in my field. Thank 

you Loyalist College! 

Diplomas and Degrees Making Winning 

Combinations 

Jennifer,Abigail and Sarah are all Bioscience students at Loyalist 

College.There is also another common thread that connects them – 

they have chosen to earn their Loyalist diplomas to enhance the 

university science degrees they have already completed.Advanced 

standing may be granted to those applying with a related 

university degree. 



TECHNOLOGY 

“Every day I get to work at the job I love” 

by Kirsty Creamer 

Chemical Engineering Technology 

Process Engineer, Durez Canada, Fort Erie, Ontario 

Graduating from Loyalist’s Chemical 

Engineering Technology program was one 

of my most fulfilling achievements. I 

learned a great deal about the industry 

from the faculty members who genuinely 

love what they do.The hands-on experience 

I gained as a student prepared me for the 

workplace and gave me an advantage 

over other applicants in the field. 

I was hired even before I finished my 

internship and now I’m in charge of 

technical and process issues for our most 

profitable unit. Every day I get to work at 

a job I love and learn something new. 

Although challenging, the broad subject 

areas that are covered in the Chemical 

program enable me to tackle any problem 

that is thrown my way. 

College years are truly the most 

memorable years of your life. While it is 

important to work hard, the social skills 

you gain in college also add to the 

experience and will assist you in future 

challenges in the workplace. 


Why Choose 

Loyalist College 

UNIVERSITY 

TRANSFER 

AGREEMENTS: 

Transfer agreements between 

Loyalist College and a number of 

universities facilitate university 

admission for Loyalist graduates 

by giving credit for college study. 

“If someone’s interests include 

both design and the 

technological aspects of 

architecture then I would 

definitely recommend Loyalist,” 

said Mark Baechler, a graduate of 

the College’s Architectural 

Technology program. Following 

his graduation from Loyalist, 

Mark completed his Masters of 

Architectural studies at Carleton 

University.With his Loyalist 

diploma he was given credit for 

four elective courses in his 

undergraduate degree, as well as 

advanced standing in two of his 

five technology courses at 

Carleton. 

“I gained a solid foundation of 

architectural knowledge at 

Loyalist before I entered 

university which really helped. I 

also sat on the Association of 

Architectural Technologists of 

Ontario (AATO) board as 

student representative,” added 

Mark.“Studying at Loyalist 

allowed me time to mature and 

gain some life experience before 

attending Carleton.”

job fair 

JOB 

10 

FAIR during the annual job fair held in February. Local and national 

employers who make the fair an annual recruitment stop view it 

as the perfect opportunity to show 

prospective employees what they 

have to offer. For the past several 

years, more than 85% of employers at 

the job fair were recruiting for parttime, 

full-time or summer positions. 

Each year over 100 employers visit Loyalist College 

Students agree that the fair 

has a lot to offer,“Loyalist 

really goes the extra mile to 

assist students in preparing for 

their future. Not only does 

the College host a job fair at 

which we can meet 

prospective employers, but 

they also provide workshops 

teaching us how to put our 

best foot forward when 

promoting ourselves to these 

employers.” Catherine Holt, 

2006 Public Relations. 

Employers are always full of positive 

comments “I’ve been recruiting for 

many years at colleges and 

universities across Ontario. Loyalist’s 

job fair is very organized and is 

always a pleasure to attend.The 

participation level of students has 

been fantastic!” Michelle Rosebush, 

Human Resource Manager, 

Home Depot. 


GETTING 

CONNECTED 

FAIR 

Each September The Career Centre hosts 

the Getting Connected Fair.This annual event provides students 

the opportunity to discover the support services available to them 

on campus and in the 

Belleville area. It is also 

an opportunity for 

students to find out 

how to apply for 

part-time opportunities 

on campus and in the 

community. 

“I think that every student should attend this event. 

This is a much better way for us to learn about all of the services 

and opportunities available, than to try and find each of them, one 

at a time, all over the campus and Belleville.”Tina Whitton, first 

year Customs and Immigration student.

Why Choose 


STUDENT 

SUCCESS 

MENTOR 

PROGRAM: 

Each school provides a Mentor 

to assist students with academic 

issues to enhance student success. 

Seminars are offered on learning 

skills, time management, adults 

returning to learning, career 

development, and making the 

transition from high school 

to college. 

“I wouldn’t have been able to 

handle the stress of the program 

without meeting with someone 

from the student success team. It 

was important for me to have 

these services to be successful in 

my program.The staff is 

awesome, easy to talk to, 

approachable, they are always 

there to listen and help you out. 

It was knowing that I would 

have this support that was a 

deciding factor in choosing 

Loyalist. I feel very positive 

about Loyalist College.They 

recognize that everyone is an 

individual and they respect each 

person’s separate learning styles. 

This approach is found 

throughout the College. If I 

were to describe my postsecondary 

experience at Loyalist 

in one word it would have to be 

‘empowering’!”

CULINARY SKILLS – 

CHEF TRAINING 

“I’m much more confident and 

adventurous” 

by Karen Hovinga 

Culinary Skills – Chef Training 

Cook, Bayview Retirement Residence, Belleville, Ontario 

I took the Chef Training program to 

sharpen my skills as a cook at the 

Bayview Retirement Residence and to 

open new doors of opportunity for me in 

the future. I’m now much more confident 

and adventurous with my cooking at work 

- and the residents have really noticed 

a difference! 

When I look back at my year at 

Loyalist, I still marvel at how smoothly it 

went. I was working full time, going to 

school full time and planning my wedding 

that year. I thought I would be so stressed 

out, but that simply was not the case. 

Classes were hands-on and a lot of fun. 

The teaching staff was very 

accommodating and understanding about 

my tight schedule. 

I highly recommend the Chef Training 

program. The course material is 

interesting and fun and the teaching staff 

truly wants you to succeed. I am very 

happy with my Loyalist experience.

Restaurant and Culinary students will be prepared to work in the 

most advanced culinary environments. 

“We have amazing teachers and I learned so much last year.This 

year, however, with the new equipment, we have the opportunity 

to learn so much more. We have a lot more room and equipment 

to work with.This is the wave of the future, which most of us 

had never even seen before. Knowing how to use the intricate 

features of this new equipment will definitely make our skills more 

in demand.”

MANAGEMENT 

“Pastry is my true calling so when the Delta Banff 

offered me a pastry chef position I couldn’t pass it up” 

by Tenesa-Joy Gannon 

Culinary Management 

Pastry Chef, Delta Banff Royal Canadian Lodge, Banff, Alberta 

I left Belleville the day after my 

graduation from Culinary Management at 

Loyalist College and headed out to a new 

life in the Canadian Rockies. I was 

sending out resumes, trying to figure out 

where I was going to work. Pastry is my 

true calling so when the Delta Banff 

offered me a pastry chef position I 

couldn’t pass it up. 

I think the most rewarding aspect of 

my job is the constant learning. Training 

myself to be a pastry specialist holds me 

more accountable about knowing what 

“I never thought I would learn so much” 

by Isabelle Cloutier 

Culinary Management 

Personal Chef, 

Isabelle Cuisine 

(self-employed) 

Trenton, Ontario 

When I decided to go to Loyalist and 

take Culinary Management, I never 

thought I would learn so much. I had 

been cooking for a long time at home, but 

the program helped me to improve my 

skills and acquire many new ones. Now 

that I am self-employed as a personal 

chef, I am not afraid to tackle new 

challenges because I know that I am 

I’m doing and talking about. I have to 

walk the walk. I like the fact that I have 

free reign to create new dishes. I get to 

do a lot of experimenting. 

One of the most valuable skills that I 

learned in school is the principle of 

teamwork. It is important to be able to work 

as part of a team even if you don’t initially 

know all the people that you work with. 

Further education will definitely be a 

part of my future. In ten years I hope to 

have attained my pastry chef papers and 

be studying the art of chocolate. 

prepared to face them. 

I will always cherish my memories of 

those early Friday mornings getting ready 

for the on-campus bake sale and the 

personal satisfaction I gained working 

with the Loyalist Kid’s summer camp. 

Attending Loyalist College acknowledged 

and reinforced my love of cooking and 

left me with life-long friendships. 


BUSINESS SALES AND 

MARKETING 

“…the skills and confidence I needed for 

a successful career” 

by Courtney Cooper 

Business Sales and Marketing 

Key Accounts Manager, Canarm Ltd., Brockville, Ontario 

Taking the Business Sales and 

Marketing program gave me the key 

skills and confidence I needed for a 

successful career in sales and marketing. 

I use just about every skill I acquired 

while in the program in my everyday 

work. The real-life roll-play simulations in 

cold calling, communications, business to 

business sales presentations, and 

marketing courses helped prepare me 

and also got me excited about my career. 

Traveling and meeting new people is 

the most interesting part of my job as a 

Key Accounts Manager. I enjoy traveling 

Loyalist’s Student Success Hub 

across Canada promoting new products 

and learning about different markets. I also 

find it rewarding to walk into a customer’s 

showroom and see that my hard work 

has put our product in their business. 

I have many fond memories of the time 

I spent with friends, both in residence and 

on campus. I moved to Belleville from out 

of town and found that living in residence 

gave me an immediate group of friends. 

The small classroom sizes create a 

unique learning atmosphere and allow 

you to make good friends within your 

classroom as well. 

Loyalist’s Student Success Hub is a centralized approach to providing 

students with a “go to” place with their questions or concerns. If 

students need help, or are unsure of the services available to them, the 

Hub staff will help them make the connections.

Why Choose 


IT’S ALL 

ABOUT YOU: 

“The school atmosphere at 

Loyalist is really unique. It’s nice 

to walk down the hall and see 

familiar faces. The small 

classroom sizes allow you to 

interact with your professors and 

classmates. It also makes it 

possible to get assistance and 

share ideas freely. 

Courtney Cooper, 

Business Sales and Marketing 

“It seemed a little hectic my first 

day when I moved into residence 

but I soon got to know my 

roommates — after that you start 

connecting with other groups 

and it just grows from there. I 

came from a very small school 

and would have been 

overwhelmed going to a huge 

campus in a huge city. Loyalist’s 

Chef Training program has an 

excellent reputation and I’ve 

always been drawn to hands-on 

learning, it’s a much better way 

for me to learn that sitting in 

lecture theatres. Everyone has 

been so friendly.” 

Korin Howes, Chef Training 

“I’m the first one in my family to 

leave home so this was very hard 

for all of us,” explained Jennifer 

Bannag, a first-year 

Biotechnology student from 

Vaughan, north of Toronto.“I 

discovered my program on the 

website and just thought it 

sounded so interesting.The work 

placements will be such good 

experience and the range of job 

opportunities is huge — 

forensics, water treatment and 

food quality control are just a 

few.That’s why I’m here, to learn 

the skills that will enable me to 

get a good job that I enjoy.” 

ACCOUNTING AND 

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

“I was offered a job before I graduated.” 

by Nancy File 

Accounting and Business Administration 

Student Government Office Manager, 

Loyalist College, Belleville, Ontario 

A couple of months before my 

graduation from Business Administration, 

I was offered a full-time position as the 

Office Manager for the Student 

Government at Loyalist College. I did my 

placement within that department 

because I had already accepted the fulltime 

job. I was well prepared for the 

workforce due to the many opportunities to 

apply what I had learned in my classes to 

the real world. Some of those opportunities 

included working part-time as a 

receptionist and being involved with the 

community through special class projects. 

During my second year of the Business 

Administration program, I decided to work 

towards a double diploma in Accounting. I 

signed up for Continuing Education so that 

I could do my Accounting courses online. 

This made it easier to balance classes, a 

part-time job, etc. and I was also able to 

complete my Accounting projects at my 

own pace. Balancing everything that I had 

on the go definitely helped improved my 

time management skills. 

What I found to be most valuable was 

the chance to improve my communication 

skills in the Business Administration 

program. Before Loyalist College, I was 

extremely quiet but that changed with 

class presentations and community 

projects. Now as the Office Manager, I am 

confidently interacting with staff, students, 

suppliers and visitors to the office. 

Helping to organize events and activities 

for students is immensely rewarding. Their 

positive reactions allow me to see the 

results of my work. I also find it satisfying 

to assist students with their inquiries and 

concerns. I enjoy working with and 

helping students who are members of the 

Student Government to achieve their 

goals on the Board of Directors. 

I think that the Business Administration 

program offers great opportunities for 

students. There are so many different 

aspects to working in the world of 

business so chances are good that you 

will find an area that sparks your interest. 

Business Students to Partner with Business 

Community 

Four Loyalist Business Administration students received a positive 

response from their presentation to the Belleville Economic 

Development Committee.Their idea was to take the skills they were 

learning in their program and offer their assistance to the City of 

Belleville in helping to meet the business needs of the community. 


BUSINESS 

ADMINISTRATION 

“One of the best decisions I have 

ever made” 

by Matt Richardson 

Business Administration 

Education Assistant, Quinte Health Care – Education Services 


Immediately after my graduation I was 

asked by a prominent member of our 

community how much of my skill and 

ability were “me” and how much were 

taught to me at Loyalist College. My 

answer was that although my work ethic 

and out-going personality were always a 

part of who I was, my pre-Loyalist skills 

were raw and unpolished and that the 

Business Administration program helped 

me tap into my potential. The program 

also equipped me with many skills that 

are in high demand with organizations 

from all sectors. I gathered a vast array of 

both hard and soft business skills from the 

classroom environment and was given the 

opportunity to reinforce this knowledge by 

working with highly respected 

organizations within our community. 

Today, my position as Education 

Assistant at Quinte Health Care is always 

interesting and can take me from patient 

care areas to finance, to focus groups 

and committee meetings all in one day. 

I have been fortunate to have been 

involved in some major projects so early 

in my career. My roles have included codevelopment 

of complex business cases, 

critical pathing, revamping of our entire 

corporate orientation program and many 

presentations with attendees ranging from 

senior management, community members, 

clinical professionals and many others. 

Another part of my career that I enjoy a 

great deal is teaching. Currently I cover a 

large portion of our corporate orientation 

topics ranging from hospital codes, 

disaster and emergency preparedness, 

HR functions, privacy and confidentiality 

and many more. This past winter I was 

tasked with traveling between our four 

hospitals to teach emergency preparedness 

and have been asked to teach more 

hospital code procedures this fall. 

I have so many great memories of my 

time at Loyalist. I met my fiancé and most 

of my wedding party at the College. I also 

have fond memories of working on 

campus at the SAL Lab and CAL Center. 

Both of these jobs bolstered my resume 

and gave me many skills that I use on a 

daily basis. 

To those students considering the 

Business Administration Program, I 

encourage you to take your academics 

seriously, but do not stop there. Reinforce 

your classroom learning with volunteer 

and project experience. It is a competitive 

industry - differentiate yourself from the 

rest of the pack. Do the little extras.

Three Consecutive Years of 100 Percent Success 

for Loyalist Paramedic Grads 

Paramedic graduates from the Loyalist College Bancroft Campus 

were 100 percent successful in the Advanced Emergency Medical 

Care Assistant examinations for the third consecutive year.“The 

instructors in our program had us well prepared for the provincial 

examination,” stated paramedic Sean Cavanagh. “Being a 

graduate of Loyalist’s program was a definite advantage when 

looking for employment. Paramedic services think very highly of 

Loyalist graduates.” 

“The Loyalist Paramedic program has a strong reputation for 

excellence,” said George Burton,Vice-President Enrolment 

Management and Student Services.“In addition to these excellent 

examination results, they have also showcased their exceptional 

practical skills by placing in the top two teams for the past five 

consecutive years at the annual Skills Competition sponsored by 

the Durham Paramedic Association in Oshawa.To compete against 

working paramedic professionals, as well as students from other 

programs, and repeatedly bring home top honours is a definite 

testament to their skill level.” 


“It is a fantastic career” 

by Lorraine Downey 

Paramedic 

Paramedic, Ottawa Paramedic Service, Lanark Ambulance Service 

Ottawa and Lanark, Ontario 

My time at Loyalist - Bancroft Campus 

was a welcome change from my 

university experience. The region is a 

peaceful location for this high pressure 

and demanding program. The folks are 

friendly, and while the driving to and from 

the campus can be challenging, the 

scenery is gorgeous all four seasons. My 

class was very small compared to 

university standards and I made great 

friends from across Ontario. 

The part-time program at Loyalist was 

my best option even though I was accepted 

to other full-time programs. Loyalist had 

the only Paramedic program where I 

could balance part-time employment, 

family and child commitments and parttime 

schooling for 2 years. 

I truly enjoy the daily variety built into 

paramedicine and the satisfaction 

garnered from helping people. My most 

valuable learning experiences were not 

the academic kind, but practical hands-on 

“tidbits” passed on to us from our 

instructors - all experienced medics. 

Their wisdom was invaluable and I believe 

it is one of the program’s greatest assets. 

For those interested in a career in 

paramedicine, I would recommend 

thoroughly investigating the job in 

advance. It is one area of study that 

requires strong academic skills, excellent 

physical condition and excellent people 

skills. It is a fantastic career for those who 

enjoy a job that brings different challenges 

and surprises each and every shift. 

After graduating I secured a full-time 

position with Ottawa Paramedic Service 

and a casual position with Lanark 

Ambulance Service. Working both 

services provides a pleasant balance 

between city and rural paramedicine.

PRACTICAL 

NURSING 

“…it is exciting to begin a new chapter 

in your life.” 

by Tenique Ramsay 

Practical Nursing 

Registered Practical Nurse, 

Trent Valley Lodge Nursing Home, 

Hastings Manor, Belleville, Ontario 

I had been on a waiting list for the 

Practical Nursing Diploma program for a 

long time in Nova Scotia, so you can 

imagine my excitement when I was 

accepted to Loyalist College so quickly! I 

packed up my little car with all I could 

carry and drove out to Belleville with 

much anticipation to begin my two-year 

adventure in the Practical Nursing Program. 

That was in 2004 and it’s hard to believe 

that I’ve graduated and have now been 

working in the Belleville area as a 

Registered Practical Nurse for over a year! 

Just as any preschooler on their first 

day of school, it is exciting to begin a new 

chapter in your life. The staff at Loyalist 

College - everyone from professors to 

cafeteria staff and janitors - is more than 

willing to help you in a friendly manner. 

Whether you are unable to find your 

assigned room or just need to know 

where the closest washroom is, everyone 

is glad to help. 

Loyalist may be a small college 

compared to others, but it definitely is not 

lacking anything because of its size. 

There is something for everyone and they 

are dedicated to giving you the best 

possible education in your chosen field. 

The professors are knowledgeable and 

passionate about what they are teaching. 

I never once went home after a day of 

classes and thought that was a waste of 

time. As a matter of fact, I made sure not 

to miss any days because I knew that 

there would be something interesting and 

important to learn. The nursing lab at 

Loyalist College is state-of-the-art and 

fortified our classroom learning into reallife 

situations. I was never afraid to ask 

for clarification - there was no such thing 

as a silly question. 

Of course there were times when I felt 

overwhelmed with a project or a test that 

was coming up, but by keeping my sights 

focused on the overall goal of completing 

the program, I always got through it and 

onto the next challenge. However, there 

are numerous support services available to 

aide you if you feel you are lagging behind. 

I was fortunate to find work as a 

Health Care Aide-equivalent in health care 

settings while attending College. This 

experience strengthened my nursing 

skills. Once I graduated, my employer 

changed my title from Health Care Aide, 

to Registered Practical Nurse! I have 

since added a second nursing job to my 

resume and feel so satisfied with my 

work. The skills I developed at Loyalist 

College are enforced everyday. I am 

proud to be a Loyalist College Alumnae. 


Loyalist Practical Nurses Achieve 100% Success in 

Registration Examinations 

Loyalist College Practical Nursing graduates of 2007 have received 

notification that all 24 members of the class were successful in their 

registration examination. Each of these graduates ranked at or above 

the provincial average in all areas assessed.This qualifies them to 

work as a Registered Practical Nurse in Ontario. 

“This is the second consecutive year that graduates of the Practical 

Nursing program have achieved a 100% success rate on the 

registration examination,” said Karen Brooks-Cathcart, Dean of 

Health and Human Studies.“In addition to congratulating the 

graduates on their success, I want to acknowledge the commitment of 

faculty and staff to providing a very high quality program.They have 

all worked extremely hard to achieve this success.” 

“My success in writing the examination is definitely a reflection of 

how well the faculty prepared us for it,” said Sarah Freymond. 

“Loyalist was a great learning environment that was extremely 

supportive. In the classroom it was always evident that the professors 

were teaching from their experience, and this definitely strengthened 

the program. My favourite part of the Practical Nursing program was 

having the opportunity to take the knowledge that I had learned in 

class and apply it in a clinical setting. I am now employed at Quinte 

Healthcare in North Hastings where I grew up. I’m doing what I 

always dreamed of doing.”

“…I wasn’t alone in my pursuit to build a 

better life.” 

by Sandi LeBlanc-DiCresce 

Social Service Worker 

Mental Health Counsellor, 

Mental Health Services Hastings and Prince Edward Corp., 


Interviewing and Counselling proved to 

be one of my most challenging courses 

and yet there is no doubt that each of 

these skills is absolutely essential in my 

current role as a Mental Health 

Counsellor. Receiving so much support 

and encouragement from both Lynda 

Carr-Mulholland and Michael Manthorpe 

helped me to realize that some of my 

personal traits I had previously viewed as 

limitations can actually work to open 

doors with clients who appreciate a 

subdued, gentler approach in a 

counselling relationship. 

Each day is unique in my job and it’s 

the people I work with, both co-workers 

and clients, who make what I do so 

rewarding. It goes without saying that this 

job can be extremely stressful at times 

and yet I can’t think of a more therapeutic 

environment to work in overall. 

As a mom with a young child, the 

thought of returning to school after 

having been out of university for eight 

years was really intimidating. Despite 

this, the camaraderie I soon found with 

my fellow accelerated SSW students 

reminded me that I wasn’t alone in my 

pursuit to build a better life. Before long I 

began to look forward to going to school 

everyday, even when I hadn’t slept much 

the night before (staying up late to do 

homework after finally getting my 2 year 

old to sleep), and I realized this was a 

sure sign that things were looking up 

for me. 

While many of us would agree that we 

need more resources in the Social 

Service field, the truth of the matter is 

that there are only so many jobs to go 

around. With this in mind, make your time 

at Loyalist count and know that this is 

your opportunity to stand out as the type 

of individual employers desire to find. The 

SSW faculty will do their best to guide 

and support you as you learn and grow so 

don’t hesitate to share your goals and 

enthusiasm with them. Above all, never 

underestimate the value of networking in 

this field. 

My entire Loyalist experience was 

memorable, as were the people who kept 

me company along the way. 


RECREATION AND 

LEISURE SERVICES 

“I liked what I was doing, and that made 

all the difference.” 

by Michael Popiel 

Recreation and Leisure Services 

Co-ordinator for After School Programs and Summer Camps, 

City of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario 

When I graduated from high school, my 

marks were inconsistent from class to 

class. I never did well in classes I was not 

interested in. But, when I came to 

Loyalist, that all changed because I was 

interested in the Recreation and Leisure 

Services program. Although my study 

habits did not change from high school, I 

liked what I was doing, and that made all 

the difference. I had to work hard to do as 

well as I did, but I also had lots of time to 

have fun on and off campus, meeting 

new people and making new friends. 

I apply everything I learned at Loyalist 

to my job as a Coordinator for After 

School Programs and Summer Camps 

with the City of Ottawa. Whether it is 

planning or running the program, I know 

exactly what I am supposed to be doing. I 

owe a lot to my professors who were very 

knowledgeable and willing to share their 

wealth of experience in the field. 

The Recreation and Leisure Services 

program is demanding and requires a 

commitment of time and effort. But once 

you get that diploma, the employment 

possibilities are endless.

CORPORATE AND 

COMMERCIAL SECURITY 

“It was absolutely worthwhile.” 

by Tammy Staffen 

Corporate and Commercial Security 

Smoke-Free Ontario Enforcement Officer, Hastings & Prince Edward 

Counties Health Unit, Chronic Disease & Injury Prevention Dept., 


The Corporate and Commercial 

Security program at Loyalist College 

provided the foundation necessary to find 

the perfect job for me. Being a mature 

student and mother, Loyalist taught me 

the essentials of security, investigations 

and communications without all the 

“filler” subjects that take up the first one 

or two years at other colleges and 

universities. The fast track program 

allowed me to finish my first year in six 

months which caught me up to the 

second-year students. 

After completing a placement with 

Hastings & Prince Edward Counties 

Health Unit, I knew that enforcement was 

my calling. The faculty at Loyalist worked 

with me each and every step to ensure 

that I would be prepared to meet and 

exceed the expectations of any employer 

who hired me. My job as a Smoke-Free 

Ontario Enforcement Officer is never 

boring. Enforcement is something I have 

always had an interest in and doing it 

every day is a very rewarding experience. 

The field of enforcement and security is 

growing rapidly. The studies are intense 

and often very difficult, but the professors 

are always willing to give that extra help 

to get you through. Each professor has 

first-hand life experience in the field they 

teach. My law teacher was a lawyer and 

my security teacher was an RCMP Officer, 

so their accounts were real and made 

learning much more interesting. 

Loyalist has provided a wonderful 

mirage of memories for me. I loved to 

come home each day and share my 

school news with my children. They loved 

to hear about my friends and help with 

my homework. At Loyalist I met friends 

that I still keep in touch with, and each 

time I meet my professors they are 

genuinely concerned about how I am 

doing. Loyalist is a small college with a 

deep reputation for caring for their 

students well after graduation. 


COMMUNITYAND JUSTICE 

SERVICES WORKER 

“I am excited to go to work every day” 

by Korinne Dale 

Correctional Worker (now Community and Justice Services Worker) 

Direct Care Worker, St. Lawrence Youth Association 

Kingston, Ontario 

Returning to school after 15 years in 

the job force and raising a family was the 

most frightening yet exciting decision I 

had ever made. The first day of school 

was just like the first day of kindergarten; 

I was afraid I wouldn’t fit in; I wouldn’t 

make friends because I was much older 

and that the workload would prove to be 

too much of a challenge. I couldn’t have 

been more wrong. Loyalist students are 

diverse in every way including age and 

background. Loyalist teachers offered a 

variety of experience both in and out of 

the classroom. They nurtured my 

confidence until I was sure I could 

succeed. 

The Correctional Worker program 

offered the opportunity to demonstrate 

the skills I’d learned in my two field 

placements. I was hired by the youth 

facility in which I completed my second 

placement and was working before 

graduation. I draw on my Loyalist College 

experience everyday and am grateful for 

the knowledge I gleaned from my 

teachers. I am excited to go to work 

every day and for the first time in my life, 

I feel that I am making a difference. 


Why Choose 


AMAZING 

FACULTY: 

“Without a doubt, my favourite 

part of the program is the 

faculty – they really make the 

program. Down-to-earth and 

easy to approach, they make it 

fun, yet give it to you straight, 

always pushing you forward. 

The program is tied closely to 

the industry, giving us exposure 

to professionals working in the 

field who critique our work and 

offer objective suggestions for 

improvement.” 

Vance Lester 

Fast-Track Photojournalism 

“The instructors I had were all 

very knowledgeable and 

passionate about their trades. 

That made it easier to absorb the 

content because the environment 

was open and energetic. 

I strongly recommend the 

Mechanical Techniques program 

to anyone looking to get into 

the trades. I feel it is ‘the course’ 

to get you started in the trades!” 

Casey Ruttan 

Mechanical Techniques 

“I strongly believe that having 

teachers who had worked in the 

manufacturing sector themselves 

really offered a different, yet very 

positive kind of teaching.”

PARALEGAL 

“…a stepping stone to a 

successful career” 

by Kulicia McGrath 

Paralegal 

Municipal Prosecutor for the County of Lambton, 

E & B Paralegal Inc., London, Ontario 

Loyalist College was a stepping stone 

towards a successful career in the 

paralegal field. In fact, I was offered a 

position at E & B Paralegal Inc. before I 

even graduated. But my success didn’t 

end there. After only three months of 

employment I was delegated the role of 

Municipal Prosecutor for the County 

of Lambton. 

Loyalist taught me the proper 

communication, research and task 

management skills to get my career off 

the ground and the knowledge required to 

be successful throughout my career. 

I will never forget the late nights 

studying in the library with friends and 

drinking coffee in the Shark Tank. Most of 

all, I will never erase from my mind the 

impact Loyalist College has had on my life. 


CUSTOMS AND 

IMMIGRATION 

“there are so many opportunities” 

by Jeff Lockwood 

Customs and Immigration 

Border Services Officer, 


Pearson International Airport 

Toronto, Ontario 

The most interesting aspect of my job 

as a Customs and Immigration Officer is 

the daily contact with people from all 

around the world and from all walks of 

life. I also find it rewarding when I 

intercept contraband from entering the 

country, and when random passengers 

acknowledge our role in protecting the 

Nation’s security. 

There are so many opportunities in the 

ever expanding world of Customs and 

Immigration, and the broad range of skills 

developed through the program coupled 

with on-the-job placements will open 

many doors for Loyalist graduates. 

I will always remember those early 

morning runs and playing pool in the 

Shark Tank with my friends 

between classes.

FOUNDATIONS 

“no doubt in my mind what college I was 

going to choose” 

by Samantha Clark 

Police Foundations 

Security Guard, Frontier Security Services, Trenton, Ontario 

I have lived in the Belleville area since I 

was young. When it came time for me to 

choose a college and program of study, I 

found out there are many to choose from. 

However, when I decided on the Police 

Foundations program, there was absolutely 

no doubt in my mind what college I was 

going to choose – Loyalist. Loyalist is 

highly regarded when it comes to the 

Police Foundations program because of its 

four communications courses, four fitness 

courses and two, four-week placements. 

The professors have real-life police 

experience. They are honest, tough when 

they need to be and will push you harder 

if they know you have the potential. For 

the reasons listed above, I would not have 

chosen any other college. 

If you are serious about a policing 

career and you want as much knowledge, 

experience and training as you will need 

to begin the police officer process, 

choose Loyalist College. The professors 

and resources are there to help you the 

whole way to graduation . . . and after. 

Forecast for Careers in Policing Looks Promising 

“We are a large organization and we’re hiring. We’re into an 

increased cycle of hiring because of attrition and we need to hire 

about 300 new officers this year. That need will continue from 

year to year.” 

Sgt. John Jarrett 

Ontario Provincial Police 

As quoted in the Belleville Intelligencer 


ADVERTISING 

“from guidance to finances – the 

help was there” 

by Matthew Cormier 

Advertising 

Account Co-ordinator, MacLaren McCann, Toronto, Ontario 

From the moment I set foot on the 

Loyalist Campus, I was at home. There 

was not a single person that wasn’t 

willing and ready to help with anything I 

needed - from guidance to finances - the 

help was there. 

I was fortunate to begin my fast-paced 

career at MacLaren McCann/CSG with 

General Motors Canada as my client. I am 

challenged daily with a variety of tasks 

and projects, each one as unique as the 

next. This position is highly rewarding in 

many ways both socially and 

professionally. With the ever-evolving 

industry constantly picking up pace, the 

challenge of tight time lines, heavy 

project loads and fast-paced industry 

keeps me on my toes. It is a great feeling 

to work on a team that is constantly 

striving to stay ahead of the game and 

ultimately sell more of our client’s 

products. 

My fondest memories of my time at 

Loyalist would have to be the people first 

and foremost, and that includes program 

faculty members, Student Government, 

Board of Governors and all of the great 

staff who helped me along the way. I was 

very involved in Student Government and 

Board of Governors, a move that I would 

highly recommend to anyone. There are 

so many reasons why this experience 

was great but simply put, you meet 

people, work with bands and 

entertainment, and you learn skills in 

addition to your day-to-day classes. 

Loyalist became a home to me over my 

four years and was truly the best foundation 

for a successful career in the advertising 

and integrated marketing industry.

JOURNALISM 

“It was absolutely worthwhile.” 

by Amanda Bobbitt 

Print Journalism 

Production Co-ordinator/Proofreader, Essence Publishing & The Shield 


I’ll always remember the community at 

Loyalist, which was small and welcoming, 

and all the crazy hours spent working 

with fellow students putting out our 

weekly newspaper The Pioneer. The hectic 

schedule and tight deadlines created lots 

of stress – but it was absolutely 

worthwhile. I credit the program’s handson 

experience and class work for the 

development of the skills I use today. 

The opportunity to experience the many 

facets of Print Journalism resulted in a 

change in my career goal. I discovered 

that I no longer wanted to be a reporter 

but could take what I liked best about the 

program - design, editing and production 

- and create a job. I was hired at Shield 

Media a few short months after 

graduation. In my role as Production 

Co-ordinator and Proofreader, I get to 

experience what I consider to be the best 

parts of the publishing and newspaper 

industry - holding a book right off the 

press and helping deliver the news to our 

city, all the while knowing the time and 

effort it took to get there.

BROADCAST 

JOURNALISM 

“One of the best decisions I have 

ever made” 

by Teresa Burd 

Broadcast Journalism 

Summer Events Reporter, 

Corus Entertainment- 

Variety 104.5 

Cornwall, Ontario 

One of the best decisions I have ever 

made was to study Broadcast Journalism 

at Loyalist College. When I started College 

at the age of seventeen, I was unsure if 

this was the right program for me. At first 

I thought I had made the wrong choice, 

but the program opened up so many 

doors for me. You don’t have to get a job 

in news after you graduate. There are a 

wide variety of opportunities available. 

The Broadcast Journalism staff are the 

greatest. They are very honest with you. 

The first day of school the teachers told us 

it would not be easy. They were absolutely 

right, but they were there for us anytime 

we needed them. I struggled through parts 

of the program but my teachers 

encouraged me to strive harder and I have 

them to thank for much of my success. 

My experiences at Loyalist were 

amazing. I met friends I will have for the 

rest of my life, and I learned that I CAN do 

whatever I put my mind to. This 

specifically shows in my work now. I’m a 

Summer Events Reporter at Variety 104.5 

and I love my job. Every day I learn 

something new, and meet someone new. 

It is the most challenging job I have ever 

had, but also the most rewarding. I grow 

more and more each day. 

Everywhere I go in the media industry I 

meet Loyalist grads. Loyalist is a top 

competitor in the media industry and they 

should be proud of that. I’m proud to put 

Loyalist on my resume because it has 

helped me shape what I am today. I 

would tell anyone who is considering the 

Broadcast Journalism program at Loyalist 

to make sure they are ready to learn, to 

put in extra hours, and to work as hard as 

you possibly can. Your dream job awaits 

you at the end of it all. 

National Recognition for Loyalist Photojournalists

PUBLIC 

RELATIONS 

“definitely the right choice for me” 

by Catherine Holt 

Public Relations 

Fundraising Assistant, Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation 

Campbellford, Ontario 

The Public Relations post-graduate 

program was definitely the right choice 

for me. The training in media relations, 

key messaging, fundraising (i.e. donor 

relations) and event management has all 

been very valuable in my job with a 

hospital foundation. 

As a fundraiser, donor relations are a 

core responsibility and one of the best 

parts of my job. The instruction in this 

area, along with the advice we received 

from career professionals, really helped 

me to decide what field of work I wanted 

to pursue. Much of the program is 

focused on relationship building which 

has a huge impact on any career in 

public relations. 

I loved Loyalist because its size really 

promoted a feeling of belonging. The 

professors are highly educated and 

experienced in their fields of expertise, 

and this translates down to the students. 

Loyalist has a great atmosphere and the 

PR program is fun from start to finish. This 

really encourages the learning process. 

My advice to anyone considering the 

PR program is GO FOR IT! If you love 

people, want to have fun in your job, are 

looking for more than one avenue of 

employment and are brave enough to put 

yourself out there, then the Public 

Relations program is for you. It opened up 

a new world for me and my fellow 

graduates. It will for you too. 

Loyalist Public Relations Students Host Workshop 

Series for Community 

Students of the Loyalist College post-graduate Public Relations program 

hosted a series of eight media relations workshops for members of the 

community. “The Community Media Workshop Series will provide an 

excellent opportunity for our post-grad Public Relations students to share 

their knowledge in a real-world setting,” said Professor Kerry Ramsay. 


TELEVISION AND NEW 

MEDIA PRODUCTION 

“Loyalist gave me the foundation 

I needed” 

by Cat Nolte 

Television and New Media Production 

Executive Assistant/Office Manager 

Sons and Daughter Production Inc., Toronto, Ontario 

Loyalist gave me the foundation I 

needed to work in this industry. The 

internship program was what actually 

gave me my break with an amazing 

commercial production company. I did my 

two-month internship at Partners Film 

Company during my third year and they 

hired me three weeks into my internship 

as a staff Production Assistant. I made 

many contacts at that job and have now 

moved on to a new production company 

called Sons and Daughters 

(www.sonsanddaughters.ca), where I am 

the Executive Assistant/Office Manager. 

I’m gaining a great deal of experience 

here and I truly love my job, which is 

really important. 

I feel the greatest strength of Loyalist’s 

Television and New Media Production 

program is the hands-on experience and 

the professors who have all worked in 

the industry. 

Loyalist Professor Named Canadian New Media 

Educator of the Year 

Robert Washburn, Journalism Professor at Loyalist College was 

honoured with the Canadian New Media Educator of the Year 

award. Professor Washburn was the first Canadian educator to bring 

students into a social networking simulation classroom in the virtual 

world of Second Life, using this environment as an education tool.

“companies will literally fight to have you

by Kelly Linn 

Electrical Techniques 

Electrical Technician (Electrical Apprentice) 

Lakeside Packers, Brooks, Alberta 

“I work in an industrial setting which is 

perfect for learning all aspects of the 

electrical trade. I’m working with singlephase 

and three-phase power, PLCs and 

a wide variety of electrical equipment. 

The apprenticeship program in Alberta is 

four years of hands-on learning. As 

someone entering the electrical field, 

work experience at Lakeside Packers is 

extremely valuable. With this experience 

contractors and other companies will 

literally fight to have you on their staff.” 

Employer’s comments… 

Electrical Superintendent 

Lakeside Packers, 

Brooks, Alberta 

“Kelly has been a great addition to my department. He has learned many 

of the control systems here and continues to learn more every day. The 

electrical background that he learned at Loyalist has benefited him a great 

deal. He knew how to troubleshoot schematics and wiring diagrams 

efficiently and can now basically repair almost anything we have here. He’s 

furthering his training by going through the apprenticeship program, working 

toward becoming a journeyman electrician. Kelly has a great work ethic. 

He’s a hard worker and a very intelligent electrician. With the apprenticeship 

training he’s completing now he will be an awesome electrician and a 

benefit to any company. I wish we had more like him at Lakeside.”

I had come to the realization that I 

needed to make a change in my life. I had 

dropped out of high school and after five 

years knew that I needed to get an 

education and find a career. I chose 

Loyalist because Belleville is known for 

its strong manufacturing sector and I 

wanted to immerse myself in that 

environment. My professor, John Poste, 

encouraged me and showed me I was 

capable of successfully completing not 

only my Mechanical Techniques 

certificate, but also my diploma in 

Manufacturing Engineering. This opened 

up a whole new world to me. Following 

graduation, the first resume I handed out 

resulted in a job as a CNC Machinist at 

The Ottawa Hospital. Attending Loyalist 

was definitely a life-changing experience 

for me.

Why Choose 


CAREER 

LAUNCH: 

“There is a definite shortage of 

skilled trades people which will 

continue to increase as many current 

workers are close to retirement age. 

The trades have been neglected and 

now industry knows that they need 

skilled, trained workers to fill those 

roles.This gives me the perfect 

opportunity to advance my career. 

Linamar, the company I work for, has 

approximately 20 plants right here in 

Guelph, another in Batawa, and also 

an overseas plant.There are many 

opportunities for advancement right 

within this company – not to 

mention those throughout the 

industry. I want to travel and see 

places that I’ve never seen. I can’t 

think of a better way than to have a 

job that I enjoy that takes me there. 

The opportunities are there. I plan to 

take advantage of them.”

by Nathan Scaife

“Based on the class tour to visit area

“I was really glad when Loyalist 

decided to offer year two of the program. 

This meant that I could return to Loyalist 

to complete my diploma – instead of 

having to move to another city and start 

at a new college.”

“This is the premier auto event in North America, and it is 

the largest event of its kind in the world,” explained Dave

everyone involved.”
