Difference Maker Award

NorQuest staff are always asking the question: how will this change lives for the better? The Difference Maker Award recognizes an alumni who is now a NorQuest staff member and is committed to making the college a true place of belonging.

This award represents a NorQuest graduate who: 

  • Is currently employed by NorQuest College
  • Upholds NorQuest’s values
  • Is making a difference in the lives of students and staff
  • Strives to fulfill NorQuest’s commitment to becoming an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive organization


Many NorQuest graduates have a full circle journey and end up back at the college as NorQuest staff. These individuals make a difference every day, helping support the next generation of learners, and are an integral part of NorQuests success.

— Josie Tan, Alumni Relations Officer, NorQuest College
