Alumni Family - The Slomke's
Posted:
This past spring, the Slomke family came together to celebrate their daughter's graduation from the Dental Hygiene Program. An extra special occasion, as the entire family are now all part of the Confederation College Alumni network!
Kent and Lisa met at Confederation College. Many fond memories were made on campus, including winning team 'ZOOBA' during one of SUCCI's campus recreation events in 1994. “Lifelong friendships and memories were made at Confederation College” said Lisa. “We graduated together, moved away to Manitoulin Island and got married in 1996. Many adventures and moves along the way and we have now made Fort Frances home with plans to retire here.”
Proud father, Kent Slomke, graduated with an Accounting and Finance Administration Program diploma in 1993 and a Business – Marketing Program diploma in 1994. Currently, Kent is finishing his 17 year as a constable with the Ontario Provincial Police and is a full-time Emergency Response Team member based in Fort Frances.
Elizabeth (Lisa) Slomke, mother, graduated with a Business – Marketing Program diploma in 1994. Lisa spent 15 years as Municipal Clerk in the Municipality of Greenstone and Town of Fort Frances. Lisa is presently the Business Manager for the Fort Frances Physicians Group.
Landon Slomke, brother, graduated with a Carpentry and Renovation Techniques certificate in 2019. Landon is presently working for Tom Jones Construction and is working his way towards his goal of becoming a red seal carpenter.
Recent graduate, Katrina Slomke, graduated with a Dental Hygiene Program Advanced Diploma (honour roll) this past spring. Katrina also received two Ontario Colleges Athletic Association All-Academic Awards for her participation on the college curling teams that competed at the provincials. She will continue her studies this fall at Lakehead University, to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree.
