For Nikita Worm, attending Adult Upgrading classes at ¹û½´ÊÓƵ changed her outlook and gave her life new meaning.  

Learning new skills through one of ¹û½´ÊÓƵ’s foundational programs, was just the tonic to help support her in her outlook on life.  

"The College and the courses here have helped me to be so positive about my life and my future. I feel like I’m worth something now," said Worm.  

Worm will be one of many students presenting their work at an upcoming student showcase, scheduled to take place at ¹û½´ÊÓƵ's Kelowna campus on March 21, 2024, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the Centre for Learning Atrium. Students, staff and community members are invited to attend.
