SUSK Alumni Receive Provincial UCC Awards
The months of October and November marked great achievements for SUSK alumni across Canada. As active members of the community, alumni were recognized for their commitment to capacity building, leadership development, and volunteerism.
The Ukrainian Canadian Congress – Alberta Provincial Council (UCC-APC) held its annual Hetman Awards on October 21, which was created to acknowledge integral members of the Ukrainian Canadian community in Alberta. Former 2016-2017 SUSK Secretary, Ivanka Soletsky, was recognized with an award in the Youth category. Current SUSK VP Executive, Ashley Halko-Addley, was in attendance to congratulate all recipients of the evening.
“It’s so great to see so many of our alumni being recognized,” said Halko-Addley, “we have such a diverse group of alumni that are involved in their local communities in a variety of ways. It is great to see that they are continuing to be involved, even several years after their time with SUSK is over. I’m so proud of all of the recipients. They have done amazing work for our community and it’s nice to see them receiving well deserved recognition.”
