2022 Outstanding Community Mentor Award

I would like you to help me congratulate our colleague Sandra Casavant on earning the 2022 Outstanding Community Mentor Award. The time and effort she put into mentoring Jenelle Hardy was instrumental in helping Jenelle develop her post secondary goals. She will be attending UVM next year where she will be applying to the university's new Occupational Therapy program. Please congratulate both of them on their accomplishment if you see them before graduation!
