Nearly 200 SUNY Canton students received academic awards at the Paula Bouchard Jacques Honors Convocation.

The event is named annually for a retired faculty member who contributed significantly to the college, its students, and the greater north country region. Professor Jacques taught in the college’s Nursing program for 37 years.

“Throughout her career and retirement, Professor Jacques has valued the importance of her relationships with colleagues, students and her community,” said SUNY Canton President Zvi Szafran. “As we gather today to recognize and celebrate your academic achievements, I encourage you to reflect on the importance of cultivating strong relationships with those around you.”
