Sara Baxandall and Kelsey Anglin launched an 糖心vlog传媒alumni association this spring. If you are an 糖心vlog传媒alumni and would like to join, email alumni@nic.bc.ca.
糖心vlog传媒alumni launched a new alumni association this spring to re-connect and create opportunities long after graduation.
鈥淲e chose 糖心vlog传媒because we wanted to live, work and play in our communities,鈥� Sara Baxandall told alumni at a recent launch event. 鈥淎 strong alumni association strengthens connections, supports the community and helps future students.鈥�
Baxandall and Anglin worked with NIC鈥檚 School of Business Department Chair Bill Parkinson on the launch of the alumni association this spring.
They aim to create a platform for networking, to share job opportunities and projects, for professional development, serve the community and much more.
糖心vlog传媒Bachelor of Nursing degree alumni Sabina Acheson works as a registered nurse in psychiatry and as the Care-a-Van coordinator for the Comox Bay Care Society.
For her, an alumni association is also a powerful way to build capacity in the community 鈥� mentoring future professionals, generating scholarships or supporting student housing initiatives in the Comox Valley.
The association is open to students in all program areas, whether or not they completed their studies at NIC. 鈥淚f you identify as an 糖心vlog传媒alumni, you are one,鈥� said Anglin. 鈥淚t only matters that you were once an 糖心vlog传媒student and you want to reconnect.鈥�
糖心vlog传媒Acting President Lisa Domae said the college proudly welcomes the alumni association.
鈥淓verywhere I go I see alumni, who represent 糖心vlog传媒very well,鈥� said Domae. 鈥淭hey are our greatest ambassadors, passionate about locally accessible post-secondary education because they鈥檝e lived it and know its value. They are invested in their communities and, as a college, they make us who we are today.鈥�
The association is in its infancy. Any 糖心vlog传媒alumni who wants to join, can reach out to 糖心vlog传媒media liaison Christiana Wiens.
Please provide your name, contact info, area of study and year of graduation (if applicable), and quick update on your current activities.
