Community and Alumni Recognition

The President’s Council consists of individuals who have completed service to Grande Prairie Regional College on the Board of Governors or the Alumni/Foundation Board of Directors, have volunteered as an event chair, have received the honourary designation of Instructor Emeritus, have made a planned gift to Grande Prairie Regional College, or have received a distinguished award at GPRC.

The Award of Distinction is the College’s highest tribute to individuals or groups within our community. This award has been established to honour individuals whose actions have made exceptional contributions to our community and to the advancement of higher education.

This award is presented in recognition of exceptional contributions of time and energy dedicated to the advancement of Grande Prairie Regional College and recognizes individuals who exemplify the many volunteers upon whose efforts the continued growth of our College depends.

The most prestigious award of the GPRC Alumni/Foundation, this award was established to recognize GPRC alumni for outstanding accomplishments in their professions, and/or in service to their community, society or GPRC. The Distinguished Alumni is an example of alumni success for current and future GPRC students.

This award recognizes the outstanding achievements of GPRC alumni early in their careers or community service. This award was presented for first time in 2013.

The Alumni Award of Excellence recognizes specific, recent accomplishments of GPRC alumni (in approximately the last 12 months prior to the nomination deadline). The accomplishments may take the form of local, national or international honours or major championships. This award will be presented as deemed appropriate by the Alumni/Foundation.
