Congratulations to recent Continuing Education grad Fay Hartwick, this year’s winner of the Red River College and Project Management Institute (PMI) Top Student Award.

Hartwick，毕业于 RRCprogram in Fall 2014, picked up her award — and associated $1,000 cash prize — at PMI Manitoba’s annual Professional Development Days Spring Conference on April 15.

Each year, program instructors nominate one deserving graduate for the award, basing their decision on a mix of criteria that includes academic achievement, attitude, drive, determination, initiative and teamwork skills.

Hartwick 目前就职于(LSAM), where she’s been the office manager since March — working closely with a program manager on event planning and general operations. Before that, she was the Program Director responsible for large conferences at NDG Financial Corporation, parent company to E-Care Contact Centers.

Hartwick, who also has herRRC 的证书，她说她选择该学院是因为继续教育的交付模式方便且全面。

“我喜欢这个节目。我喜欢可以参加晚间课程，而且我可以在线或在课堂上学习……而且我在市中心工作，所以下班后我可以立即去[交流区]e8体育网。”

Hartwick 说，她发现在 RRC 的时间非常宝贵，特别是考虑到她在新职位上承担的责任越来越多。

“我很享受这一切，”她说。 “The case studies, the fact the instructors could take theory and show you the practical applications, the group interaction, the interactions and insights from other students — it really helps to cement ideas and projects.”

“I work closely with a program manager at LSAM, and [my training] helps me understand the challenges she faces, because we have a number of events going on back-to-back. My training has provided me with the tools to better support her, and as I grow in this positon my training will allow me to take on some of the workload.”
