Tanya Tran graduated from the Integrated Environmental Planning program at Selkirk College in 2016. In September 2017, she began grad school at the University of Victoria with more than $30,000 in fellowships and awards. She is thankful to Selkirk College for helping her pursue her dream.
Originally from Ottawa, Tran received an undergraduate degree at McGill University in Montreal where she achieved a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a focus on Fresh Water & Marine Sciences. She also participated in the field study component that took her to Panama for four months of experience with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.
“Before I came to Selkirk College, I did apply to grad school but didn’t have funding to go,” says Tran. “There are other ways to get to your dream. Your goal can be the same, but the pathway can be different.”
Selkirk College also caught up with Tanya just before graduation in 2016. She was selected the valedictorian that year. Ready this story...
