The Okanagan College Alumni Association (OCAA) is now accepting nominations for the 2018 Distinguished Alumni Award and Young Alumni Award.
The Distinguished Alumni Award recognizes an Okanagan College or Okanagan University College alumnus for their demonstration of excellence in leadership, environment, business or industry, public or community service, arts or support of the College.
“We rely heavily on community members to nominate their OC and OUC alumni peers or colleagues that make a difference in their industry or community,” says Kara Kazimer, President of the OCAA Board of Directors.
“These awards give us the opportunity to formally recognize those that are making a real difference and accomplishing some truly amazing things.”
Grace Greyeyes, who completed Practical Nursing training at the college, was the recipient of last year’s Distinguished Alumni Award.
Ben Klick, country music musician and Audio Engineering and Music Production alumni, was honoured with the Young Alumni Award.
Nominations close on March 14, and can be submitted online.
Awards will be presented at the Associations annual general meeting in September.
