Graduation Memories
Many high school graduations have taken place over the past
week, and in turn many pictures have been taken. Alumni Garden
and the Rock Garden here on NSAC campus have both served
as the backdrop for beautiful photos.
Below is a picture take this
past Monday evening in the Rock Garden. Congratulations to

NSAC Staff and Faculty Say Farewell to Dr. Rob Gordon
Deputy Minister Paul Lafleche, NSAC faculty and staff gathered
in the Cumming Hall foyer on June 24 to wish Dr. Rob Gordon
farewell. Rob thanked everyone for coming and shared a few
memories from his twenty years of working with the NSDA (Nova
