| Bill Kondro - 2006 |  |
 Lakeland College conferred its first honorary degree in 2006 recognizing former board chair and 2006 convocation speaker Bill Kondro with a bachelor of community economic development. Kondro, who spoke at the Strathcona County convocation in April, the Lloydminster campus convocation in May and the two Vermilion campus ceremonies on June 3, told the graduates they had a passport to the world with their education from Lakeland College. The 2006 Vermilion graduating class were the first to get to their feet when Kondro was presented the honorary degree by current board chair Doug Elliott (left) and president Dr. Brian Larson (right). At that time Kondro chaired the Lloydminster campus capital campaign that is raising funds for a new academic wing in Lloydminster. The wing, officially opened in 2008, bears Kondro's name. “Bill Kondro is a great friend of Lakeland College and it was our privilege to honour him in this way,” says Dr. Larson. |
