Full Story

My journey as a DSW student at Confederation College was awesome. My professors helped me to improve myself. I grew not only as a better student, but also as a better person because of my professors.

What I Liked Most About Confederation College

As a second-year DSW student, I came a long way to get where I am today. My professors Julie Zdep and Linda Kramer are the main reason why I am who I am today. I learned from them more than I learned from the textbooks. I wasn't the best student when I started, but the inspiration and enthusiasm from my professors made me become a better student and also helped me to build a real passion towards my future profession as a DSW. I learned how to keep my personal and professional life apart. The true encouragement and a little push from my teachers made me work hard and achieve my goals. I cannot thank them enough from believing in me when I was not. Confederation College provided me with the best professors and I am thankful for that.

What I Liked Most About Thunder Bay, Canada

What I Would Like to Do After I Graduate

My Advice to Future Students Thinking About Attending Confederation College

Confederation College provides different resources and opportunities which completely helps you to grow as a student. If you are joining DSW, don't worry; you are in safe hands and can't ask for better, professional or inspiring professors.

A Teacher Who Made a Difference in my Learning
