We are excited to acknowledge the outstanding achievements of our students, whose drive and ambition have led them to exceptional opportunities. One such opportunity is their participation in the Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) program, presented by the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade.
On September 18, we came together at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver to celebrate the graduation of one Acsenda student and the induction of six new participants into the LOT program, Alejandra Lopez, Alyssa Bautista, David Amador Diaz, Edelmira Brindis, Kristine Angelica Dolor, Sergio Ruiz Matuk. The evening was highlighted by a keynote address from Greg Malpass, Executive Chair and Co-Founder of Hubbl Technologies. Greg shared invaluable insights on the qualities that set extraordinary leaders apart, inspiring all in attendance.
The event’s centerpiece was the Awards Ceremony, where we honoured the remarkable achievements of our graduates. We are particularly proud of Richard Perez, who was a finalist for the 2023-24 LOT Mentee of the Year Award, and now as the new Campus Connections Committe Advisor a testament to his dedication and excellence throughout the program.
