Tec-Voc Scholarship Winner
M.E.L. Scholarhip awarded to Andrew Ruday Recipient of the First Level Apprenticeship
Award/Core Curriculum He is known simply as Rudy by
everyone at Tec-Voc. Always ready to assist in any way he can, a trait which makes him very popular with both staff and students.
Never pushes his ideas but always ready to give a suggestion. He
took electrical for 3 years and always managed to keep ahead of most of the group. When he did get ahead he always pushed
for time to work on his tube radio and electronic projects, which he taught himself. Rudy is very strong, respectful and confident in his abilities. He will make a
fine addition to any company. He did well in the high level subjects and was chosen #1 in mock interviews by Manitoba Hydro.
I offer my sincere gratitude to the League for making this award
possible. Thank-you Ray

Winnipeg Organization offers support for lighting-related projects at educational campuses in Manitoba
The Winnipeg Section
of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) has two programs designed to promote student involvement
in lighting design and application. They are available at all Post-secondary Institutions in the province.
The Winnipeg IESNA Award is a cash award to assist students in their studies. The Luminous Environments
Research Grants (LERG) are available to purchase materials for lighting projects.
What makes the Award and Grant programs unique is their complete interdisciplinary nature. Projects on lighting and/or
colour could be in engineering, the literary theatrical or visual arts, management, environmental urban or interior design,
agriculture, or behavioural and biological sciences.
A project on how light and colour are described in novels or poetry would be just as welcome as one on attitudes and
behaviours related to energy conservation. The impact of product lighting, or how stage lighting affects audience responses
would receive equal consideration. Lighting effects on architectural spaces or plant growth are eligible. Workplace productivity,
or illumination effects on visual art evaluation could be supported. Lighting aspects of urban safety or wayfinding would
receive as much attention as evaluation of textiles or fibre arts. Clearly, the scope is very broad–any aspect of the
luminous environment.
Information about both of the programs and application forms are available at the Winnipeg IESNA Section website: http://winnipeg.iesna.net/

M. E. L. Scholarships
Tec-Voc
This year's candidate is Tiago Afonso. This deserving student achieved a more than 75% average
throughout his 3 years at Tec-Voc. With a full course load and intramural soccer tournaments, he still managed to do well
in physics and calculus. His attendance was perfect and was never late for class even though he often had to miss lunch for
games.
High work ethics were learned and practiced by this mature student.
Red River College:
