Selkirk College UAS Awards<br />

Selkirk College students determinedly pushing towards the<br />
end of the winter semester hit pause to recognize outstanding<br />
achievement in the classroom over the last academic year. The<br />
annual UAS Excellence Awards are handed out to celebrate students<br />
in the School of University Arts & Sciences for both masterful<br />
marks and fantastic effort. A total of 77 learners received<br />
awards in a plethora of study areas that include humanities,<br />
social sciences, sciences and applied sciences.<br />
“We’d like to thank all the award recipients for being excellent<br />
and all the ways in which you have enriched the environment<br />
here,” said Leesa Dean, a Creative Writing Program instructor<br />
and coordinator of the School of University Arts & Sciences.<br />
“If you are receiving an award today, it’s because one of your<br />
instructors nominated you. They may have nominated you for<br />
your excellent grades, or for the incredible ways you grew and<br />
pushed yourself as a student in their class. Whatever the reason,<br />
you stood out to them. We hope you will take some time today<br />
to recognize your own achievements.”<br />
The School of University Arts & Sciences has more than 100<br />
university-level classes to choose from in 28 subject areas from<br />
history to economics, geology to engineering and almost everything<br />
in-between. A vital part of regional post-secondary since<br />
Selkirk College first opened its doors in 1966, students are provided<br />
interactive classes and experiential learning opportunities<br />
from an academic team of highly qualified instructors.<br />
British Columbia has one of the best transfer systems in North<br />
America, so students who start at Selkirk College can finish half<br />
of the academic requirements before moving onto larger degree<br />
granting universities for the final two years.<br />
“We each face our own challenges in life and we each have our<br />
own strengths to overcome them,” said Jennah Al-Hanafy, who<br />
spoke on behalf of students at the UAS Awards ceremony on the<br />
Castlegar Campus. “What I hope to see is that we can make the<br />
most of this greatness, of this talent, of this passion, and that<br />
we can share our gifts. I am sure we all know there is space for<br />
so much improvement in this world, and I truly believe that we<br />
can make it better. It will be hard work, but if today proves anything,<br />
it’s that you are hard workers.” Applications for the September<br />
2024 start in the School of University Arts & Sciences are<br />
now being accepted. You can learn more at: https://selkirk.ca/<br />
