Students, faculty and an industry leader honoured at the Prince Albert campus convocation


June 9, 2016 - Tomorrow Saskatchewan Polytechnic will celebrate the accomplishments of over 212 graduates along with award recipients at the Prince Albert campus convocations.

"We attract hard-working, resourceful and innovative students. Our graduates are exceptional," says Dr. Larry Rosia, president and CEO. "Convocation is a chance to look back on accomplishments and celebrate achievements. I'm proud of this year's graduates and award recipients."

Graduates will be recognized for outstanding achievements and contributions to their communities. The Outstanding Citizenship Award will be given to graduate Thomas Hugo from the Carpentry certificate program for being a strong and positive leader and role model for international students.
