2020 Senecans of Distinction Award Recipients

Each year, Seneca college recognizes individuals who make significant contributions to college on campus and in the community through The Senecans of Distinction Award.

Among the 2020 Award winners is Opticianry professor and program coordinator, Tatiana Mighiu. 

In making the award, Seneca College recognizes Professor Mighiu’s passion and the respect she has earned among academics and industry leaders. She has been the force behind syncing the full- and part-time Opticianry programs, ensuring that industry standards are exceeded in both programs.

Professor Mighiu has also worked to improve Seneca graduates’ national exam averages by implementing changes to classroom instruction. This resulted in Seneca ranking higher than the national average in exam scores the following year. 2020 is the year to celebrate 20/20 vision, and there is no better time to honour her with this award.
