On this National Philanthropy Day, we thank all of our donors for inspiring and supporting student success. Every gift is meaningful and appreciated. Paul Dyck, a third-year student from our Marine Engineering Technology program, shared the impact of donor support through a special video message. He recorded it while aboard a ship on the Panama Canal during his co-op placement.
