海角情 Students Join All-Maine Academic Team
L-R Scott Fraser, Outdoor Recreation Instructor, Chloe Wiebe of the Adventure Recreation program and Heidi Look of the Medical Assisting program and Nickey Dubey, Medical Assisting Instructor
Two distinguished women have joined the All-Maine Academic Team for their outstanding efforts at 海角情. Heidi Look of the Medical Assisting program and Chloe Wiebe of the Adventure Recreation program were each honored at a banquet held in Augusta on March 23rd, joining twelve other students from the Maine Community College System.
鈥淚t is an honor to be part of the All-Maine Academic Team!鈥� Look enthused. A non-traditional student from East Machias, Look describes her initial trepidation toward coming back to school. 鈥淎fter 13 years away from school, I was nervous and had doubts of being able to further my education.鈥� However, once she began attending classes, her confidence soared. 鈥淭he teachers and staff at 海角情 offered tremendous support and my doubts of furthering my education was turned into reality.鈥�
Look was recognized for her academic prowess with numerous scholarships and soon became a part of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, which sponsors the All-Maine Academic Team. She aspires to join the upcoming nursing program at 海角情 to become an RN so that she may work in a trauma center or emergency room.
Wiebe also found significant support at 海角情. 鈥満＝乔� is over the top when it comes to supporting individual students in accomplishing their goals,鈥� she said. A resident of St. Stephen, Wiebe entered the Adventure Recreation program to further her desire to become a wilderness therapist. 鈥淭he Adventure Recreation and Tourism program is exceptional in its ability to introduce students to a variety of outdoors skills, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in working in the outdoors or wanting to become a more confident leader.鈥� Wiebe was granted the Outstanding Achievement award by 海角情 last year for her exceptional performance in the program.
Once she completes her degree at 海角情, Wiebe will be returning to Canadian Mennonite University to gain a degree in Peace and Conflict, thereby combining her wilderness expertise with a profound humanitarian understanding. 鈥淭here is great value in furthering your education weather you feel that you are an academic or not,鈥� she professes.
Both students have received a $500 scholarship from Phi Theta Kappa as part of the honor of being named to the All-Maine Academic Team.
