The student president of Northern College’s Timmins campus has won an award. Charles Shih is the recipient of the College Student Alliance Leadership Award. Shih was nominated for his strong leadership skills and because of several province-wide initiatives he took part in with the alliance. A major event Shih was involved with was the Yellow Umbrella Project which dealt with mental health. Shih is back as student president and one thing he wants to do is enhance the relationship between students and the broader community.
