The college also welcomed special guest speaker and past student Curtis Duff from the Senior Class of 2013 who inspired us with his words to find opportunity in every experience, a lesson he remembered from his school days. Curtis who is a Physiotherapist shared his story of helping a client rehabilitate from severe injuries caused by a high speed car accident and how together they have both grown and flourished.
