A Salmon Arm woman won the TRU Social Work Medal for her exceptional grade point average (GPA).

Jenny Nielsen had the highest GPA amongst the 2016 graduates from TRU’s social work program.

“I loved the social work program, it really challenged my critical thinking and exposed me to a lot of new concepts and ideas,” Nielsen said.

Nielsen will be moving on to Adler University in Vancouver next year to attend their Master of Counselling psychology program with a focus on art therapy.

“I feel honoured that I received the medal, it was definitely not on my radar,” Nielsen said.
