RDC honoured with Community Inclusion Award
Red Deer College has been recognized for its commitment to including students with developmental disabilities pursue higher education.
On April 13, officials with RDC received Inclusion Alberta’s ‘Community Inclusion Award’ to honour those efforts.
“The impact this program has on these students can literally change their lives, giving them purpose and the confidence to find employment and make a difference,” said Sharon Hamilton, Associate Dean with RDC’s School of Health Science in a press release. “The Inclusion Alberta program has given them motivation and has helped launch them into a new future. It’s truly inspiring to hear what these students have accomplished.”
Hamilton and RDC representatives, Dr. Peter Fielding, Associate Dean in the School of Creative Arts, and Trevor Keeper, Kinesiology & Sport Studies Instructor and Kings Hockey Head Coach, received the award at Inclusion Alberta’s annual conference and reception.
