The Shine Awards at NorQuest College are an annual celebration that recognizes students who shine in the classroom, awarded through generous donations from staff and faculty. On May 7, recipients and their families joined staff for the bright 2024 edition, honoring deserving students from nominations collected from their instructors. Recipients from the college’s four faculties were celebrated through 55 awards, including the Tribute Awards and Students' Association (SANQC) awards. The Shine Awards recognize students that shine in the classroom. Some of the recipients inspired the nominating faculty because of their leadership skills and community involvement, some were recognized because they go above and beyond to help others in the classroom and within the community, making sure everyone feels included and bringing a positive attitude to the learning environment. In her opening address, President Carolyn Campbell emphasized that part of transforming lives is activating generosity and building community relationships by contributing to amplify the impact of education. “The Shine Awards show that staff care immensely about the career journey and success of students whose diverse stories show resilience and ambition,” she said. These awards celebrate some of the students who embody the college’s values and make meaningful contributions to campus life, and serve as a testament to NorQuest College's commitment to nurturing a supportive and inclusive place of belonging where individuals can thrive and succeed. Kimberley Brown, the Development & Giving Officer who leads Shine initiatives, noted how the college is dedicated to empowering individuals and fostering positive change in the community. “There’s more to working at NorQuest College," she shared. "Employees raised funds through monthly contributions, buying Shine cookbooks and other giving initiatives like group activity challenges. Our hope is to be able to increase our fundraising efforts so we can give out more Shine awards in future and have a greater impact.” The Shine committee thanks all donors who made this possible, supporting NorQuest students to succeed through these generous financial awards!

And with input from industry, business, and the public sector, we make learning relevant and rewarding. We understand that our learners come with varying levels of education and we assist them at the times and places that meet their needs, whether that is in the classroom, via distance learning or continuing education. We help identify their strengths, work on their areas of need, and move them towards exciting learning paths and life-changing careers. Our post-secondary diploma and certificate programs offer careers in health, community studies, and business. We also uniquely deliver to the increasing demands of our economy.

These outcomes are based on a 2016-17 study conducted by Economic Specialists International. Located on traditional lands referred to as Treaty 6 territory, we serve 21,162 learners.

On April 25-26, NorQuest College played host to the NorQuest Esports: Campus Clash Edmonton High School Valorant Invitational. It was an in-person community-centered esports production series by NorQuest Esports. The invitational was attended by high schoolers from Edmonton and area, with the top 8 teams in a double elimination bracket that concluded in a best-of-3 grand finale, at The Core at our downtown Edmonton campus. At the end of the tournament, Team Rock Solid went all the way and won the grand finals 2-0 over 5AM. NorQuest Esports will be sponsoring Team Rock Solid’s entry to the upcoming MSI Valorant tournament at Game Con Canada (June 14-16), along with their grand prize of five $150 Riot Gift Cards and five MSI Gaming mice. In an interview with Jasper Place Red (3rd place finishers), they said “It was really fun for our team to play in an in-person local tournament in Edmonton!" NorQuest Esports will be hosting more Campus Clash events in the future. The next Campus Clash is centered around the newly released Tekken 8 fighting game and will take place on Saturday, June 15 live and in-person at Game Con Canada 2024 at the Edmonton Expo Center.

The Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA) Award celebrates an organization that fosters an inclusive environment for students. Karen Pinkoski and the Pride Centre of Edmonton have had a tremendous positive impact on NorQuest College, our students, and the broader community. As a placement supervisor, Karen creates space for students who identify as queer to complete their practicum at the Centre, so they can be safe being who they are and can support their own communities. Congratulations to the winner of our EDIA Award winner Karen Pinkoski of the Pride Centre of Edmonton. #NorQuestCollege #SeeYourselfHere
