Twenty-four students and six student athletes at Great Plains College were honoured for their achievements at an awards luncheon Thursday in the Swift Current Campus.

The awards recognized academic success and achievement over the college's programs, and the Sundogs Athletics program, and the college also recognized the contributions of their student council with Student Involvement Awards.

One of the award recipients, Colin Haggart, says it felt good to be honoured in a ceremony with his fellow students and other members of the community attending.

 

 

Haggart also received the Sundogs Leadership Awards for Men's Volleyball, saying it's not easy to balance playing and coaching on the volleyball teams while focusing on his studies, adding you basically have a list of activities you need to do, and schedule your time and prioritize those activities to do what needs to be done in the designated amount of time.
