Local Trailblazers Recognized for Transforming Lives and New Brunswick

乳交视频’s Annual Alumni Recognition Awards Ceremony Returned with Four New Honourees

OCT. 18, 2024 – FREDERICTON, NB: Local trailblazers, community members, and New Brunswick Community College (乳交视频) alumni Adam Wilson, Kathleen LeBlanc, Daniel John Smith, and Rebecca McSheffery were each recognized for their outstanding contributions to their communities and beyond at the 2024 乳交视频 Alumni Recognition Awards, held at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery on Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024. These individuals are driving meaningful change in New Brunswick: from advocating for Indigenous rights in our correctional system and advancing rehabilitation technology through innovations in biomedical instrumentation, to pioneering employment pathways for underrepresented groups and data management that is revolutionizing how homelessness is addressed. The annual 乳交视频 Alumni Recognition Awards celebrate the achievements and contributions of four 乳交视频 graduates who are truly transforming lives and communities.

“Seeing our 乳交视频 alumni thrive, like those we proudly recognized at this year’s recognition ceremony, reinforces the power graduates hold to shape the future. Their continued success is inspiring not only for us as faculty and staff but also for the generations of 乳交视频 learners to come,” said Mary Butler, President and CEO of 乳交视频. “These four remarkable individuals are not just emblematic of 乳交视频’s mission; they are living proof of its transformative power in shaping lives and inspiring communities.”  

The 2024 乳交视频 Alumni Recognition Awards ceremony brought together local leaders, community members, and supporters to celebrate the accomplishments of these individuals. Each honouree was recognized with a pewter medallion in a framed and personalized shadowbox for their professional success and the positive, far-reaching impact they continue to make here in New Brunswick and beyond.

To amplify the impact of these Alumni, 乳交视频’s Robertson Institute for Community Leadership will make a $250 donation in the name of each Alumni Recognition Award recipient to a charity of their choice. A donation in the name of Adam Wilson will be made to War Amps Canada; in Kathleen LeBlanc’s name to Romero House; in Daniel John Smith’s name to Gitpo Spirit Lodge; and in Rebecca McSheffery’s name to Charlotte County Resource Centre.
