GPRC Student Honoured for Highest Academic Standing
The Governor General’s Academic Medal was presented June 24th at Grande Prairie Regional College to Ms. Diane Gour, the student with the highest academic standing at the College in the 2008-2009 Academic Year.
President Don Gnatiuk bestowed the medal, with congratulations, at a ceremony in the Alumni Lounge at GPRC. "Diane graduated this year from the Office Administration program," Gnatiuk explains. "She is not only an exemplary student, but also an athlete on the Wolves volleyball team. We are very proud of her achievements, and proud that she is an alumna of Grande Prairie Regional College."
The Governor General's Academic Medal is one of the most prestigious awards that a student in a Canadian educational institution can receive. Her Excellency, the Right Honourable Michaelle Jean, Governor General of Canada, continues this tradition of encouraging scholarship across the nation and recognizing outstanding students.
The Collegiate Bronze medal is awarded to the student who achieves the highest overall average upon graduation from a diploma-level, postsecondary program (minimum two-year, full-time duration).
GPRC Recipient Diane Gour has completed the two-year Office Administration Diploma program, and consistently achieved academic excellence in her classes. Prior to attending GPRC, Diane was a student at Peace Wapiti Academy where she achieved Highest Academic Standing in her grade level all three years. Volleyball has always been a passion, and as a member of the Wolves volleyball team, Diane received the ACAC (Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference) and CCAA (Canadian Colleges Athletic Association) awards for academic achievement.
Diane Gour is now pleased to be employed as Administrative Assistant in Public Works, County of Grande Prairie.
