Selkirk International

Well... I (Shana Rablah - forgot to put my name on this) ..... am packing up my office... putting courses to 'bed' (so they can be taught by someone else) and I am reminded that leaving some sort of legacy is important. Something to inspire others.
One of the things that we established at Selkirk were 4 scholarships that NOT ONLY supported international students at Selkirk... BUT ALSO students going overseas and wanting to become 'international students' themselves. We named these scholarships after important individuals who touched the program in different ways over the past 40 years.
Val Tromblay - long term homestay parent
Philomena Archambault - International student coordinator
John Armstrong - Department Head and Instructor
and
Devin Turner- local student whose adventures took him overseas.
I would ask that you consider donating to any of these scholarships/bursaries. Any amount would be welcome - as we try to make sure that the funds that go out this year ... will be significant.

On May 23, Selkirk International celebrated 40 years of education excellence at Selkirk College. With over 70 people in attendance and stories that spanned the decades, from the beginning of the program to current students who continue to inspire us all.

Thank you for everyone's hard work and contribution to the success of the event (Shana Rablah has posted more photos on her page). More photos to come.
