E-Lab Student Testimonial - Cindy McAfee, SSW Program - Year 2009-2011 

When I first contemplated starting the Social Service Worker (SSW) Program with Loyalist College, Bancroft, ON, I was not really sure what to expect!  Once I started the program the support in the e-lab was great.  The support staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and helped me considerably with understanding course content.  This college experience boosted my confidence immensely in my life, not only with the SSW Program, but also when I completed my Educational Assistant Certificate Program, earlier in life.  Without this college in my community, I would have to leave my hometown to go to college and uproot myself entirely. Thank you Loyalist and staff, for all you have contributed to this community and my life.
