"The business faculty at Sault College gave me the confidence in myself to believe that I could do well as a mature student and gave me the tools to prepare me for the transition to Algoma University. To this day, I still have the “Congratulations” card that my professors Shawna Deplonty, Grant Dunlop and John Cavaliere gave me. It is one of those meaningful mementos as it reiterates my success and their involvement and desire to help me achieve it."
