South Surrey’s Michaela Robinson has earned Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s 2009 Distinguished Alumni Award.
Robinson, a 2007 graduate of the university’s Access Program for People with Disabilities, was noted for significant and outstanding service to the community.
As a volunteer, Robinson has given countless hours to organizations including the Special Olympics, Heart and Stroke Foundation, the ALS Society, Canadian Cancer Society, Semiahmoo House, Surrey Food Bank and the Law Enforcement Torch Run.
In addition, Robinson is an experienced public speaker, and has given presentations at numerous venues to promote inclusion and raise awareness of disability issues.
“Robinson’s tireless volunteer efforts, commitment to success and positive outlook epitomize the values that Kwantlen promotes in its graduates as fully contributing community citizens,” states a news release announcing the award.
“Her advice to new graduates is to “have confidence in themselves” as they can achieve anything that they set their minds to.” For more information about APPD, visit: kwantlen.ca/appd
