I recently found out that I had been nominated and had won the Lamp of
Knowledge award. This is a great honour for me and something I had set my
sights on ever since I had attended the ceremony the year before (when I
accepted my Ambassador Award). The professor that nominated me had to write a
paragraph or two about who they had nominated and why. This is what my
professor said about me.
It is with great pride and distinction that I nominate Robyn Wiggill as
the first graduate of the HR A.A.S. Degree Program to receive the Lamp of
Knowledge Award. I had the privilege of meeting Robyn Wiggill the semester of
FA2013 and have had the pleasure of teaching her for most of the required HR
courses. As a student Robyn consistently excelled academically as well as
demonstrated strong leadership skills within the college. She has served
in a leadership capacity for several organizations including an officer for the
HR Student Organization, MATC Times, and Student Ambassador for the college.
I am certain that Robyn will prove to be a viable practitioner in the
field of HR...it has been my honor to serve as a conduit linking education
to the practical application of the discipline of HR. I know she will continue
to test assumptions, apply the law, and enhance the work environment and
culture of any company that she is employed!
Congratulations Robyn as I know the best is yet to
come for you....

| My award! |
We also had our annual MATC Times awards dinner recently.
This is always a fun event to attend. It is the time when we are able to
socialize with those who work so hard all semester long to make the paper a
success. Oh, and the food is always terrific!
Last awards dinner I received a ‘special recognition award’ which
was really awesome! However, this year I received an award for being the
‘opinions editor’ which is a beautiful looking award.
At the end of the
night they announced the final award, the MVP award. And I am super excited to
say – I won!!! It was such a unexpected but great moment, where I felt like all
my hard work had finally paid off!
