Patricia, a current student, and recipient of the Humber Board of Governors Scholarship and Eric Mundinger Award, also spoke. “This scholarship not only helps me financially, which means a lot – it also motivates me to continue to do my best in all I do. It lets me know that I am not alone and that there are people like you who care and support student success. I hope to one day be on the other side, helping others as you are doing today," said Patricia.
