A Ugandan student enrolled to a Canadian University has scooped a national excellency award for exemplary leadership.
AliceMary Nakiwala was on 2nd May announced recipient of a bronze ‘CiCan Student Excellence Award’, which showcases the extraordinary contribution of an individual to their college/institute communities and highlight the role of institutions in social, cultural and economic development.
Nakiwala surprised Uganda last year [2016] when reports confirmed that she had been elected first Guild president of Niagara College in Canada by the institution’s student body.
“Receiving a national award is not only humbling but also puts me in a position to appreciate myself and the hard work I have done while on NCSAC as president. I have accomplished far more than I ever thought I would possibly do.” Nakiwala told reporters in Ottawa. “It was my absolute privilege and honour to serve the students of Niagara College as the NCSAC president for the 2016-2017 academic year. This award was the perfect way to finish off my long four-year college life.”
All over social media, Nakiwala has since been credited for being an award-winning student, a valuable member of the College’s student life team, an eager contributor to campus life, and for her leadership with the NCSAC.
This award by Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan), a national, voluntary membership organization representing publicly supported colleges, institutes, cegeps and polytechnics in Canada and internationally is issued when the nominated candidate has been reviewed and approved by an independent selection committee with representation from across CICan member institutions.
