“It depicts, in the most dramatic way possible, the sort of exciting and limitless career path that can be achieved when setting off with a St. Clair diploma in-hand. In the stories of these illustrious recipients, our students and would-be students – and the community as a whole – see the realization of professional dreams in the highest levels of business, entrepreneurship, manufacturing, healthcare, social services, and other fields, thanks to the educations they received at our college.”

The Alumni of Distinction ceremony will be held on May 2 at the Alumni Skyline room at the St. Clair College Centre for the Arts.
