In this issue, you will read about Lakehead Orillia Humanities 101 students who had a special graduation ceremony in April. Humanities 101 is an inspiring outreach program that introduces adult learners to postsecondary education.
Also featured in the May Ezine is a profile of internationally-recognized musician Jean-Paul DeRoover and an update about student-athlete Kevin Tree’s latest accomplishments in the world of cross-country running.

Congratulations to the Class of 2016!
