The campus farm allows to theory learned in the classroom to be put to practical use ... something that is essential for every farming operation, and that gives us an advantage over other students." "I learned a lot from the instructors and was able to have a lot of one on one help from the instructors, which I value a lot. The instructors always told us that if we needed any extra help they would be there to help us. Coming to Lakeland College and getting my animal science diploma was something that I will never regret." |

"I loved Lakeland. The atmosphere was meant for learning and fun, and the faculty could not have been better. I now have a job at the University of Saskatchewan in the Emergency/Intensive Care ward and love every day of it, and I owe it all to what I learned at Lakeland College!" Ricki Wasden, 2008 grad "Thanks to Lakeland, I got a great job doing what I love doing - working with animals. I love getting up and going to work, where I use the skills I was taught at Lakeland." Robin Lees (Lemishka), 2006 grad "What can I say about Lakeland - for the two years I was there, the people I met became like family. I made many friendships that will last forever." Dariel Kapicki, 2008 grad "I loved Lakeland College. I recommend it to everyone that I have talked to who is interested in the AHT field. With the support from Lakeland, I felt the need to explore and further my education. I currently spent three months in South Africa expaning my education, as well as working in one of the top clinics in Western Canada. I am now working at a great clinic - one of the top actually in the Calgary area. And I owe almost all my credit to Lakeland College and its teachers. Thanks for all your support in and out of the classroom." Erica Johnson (Payne), 2007 grad "I graduated from the Animal Health Techology progam at Lakeland College in 2005. Today I work as not only an AHT in the Toxicology Department at the Alberta Research Council, but also in the Histology Department as well. The Alberta Research Council is 'an applied research and development corporation that develops and commercializes technology to grow innovative enterprises.' Lakeland College was the best college I could ever have imagined. The teachers were excellent and didn't hesitate to provide you with assistance when needed. The atmosphere was very friendly and fun with a lot of extracurricular activities. I would recommend Lakeland to anyone looking to establish a great career and have fun doing it."
