15th Anniversary Events!
Celebrating and Recognizing Michener/TIMT Alumni
Exclusive alumni event for Cytology, Genetics and Medical Laboratory Science graduates!
On the evening of Thursday, May 31, 2012, Michener graduates from Diagnostic Cytology, Genetics Technology and Medical Laboratory Science joined Michener's Alumni Association for an event to celebrate and recognize our alumni on the occasion of the Association's 15th Anniversary in 2012. The event, held at the Hotel Lac-Leamy in Gatineau, Quebec, offered guests an opportunity to network, reconnect and socialize with friends, colleagues, former classmates and Michener. Thanks to all those who attended! View the photo gallery from this event online.

Imaging and Therapy Hospitality Suite Hosted in Toronto!
On June 8 and 9, 2012, Michener's Alumni Association hosted a VIP Hospitality Suite exclusively for Michener/TIMT graduates to commemorate its 15th Anniversary at the ISRRT World Congress and CAMRT AGM. The suite provided a comfortable and relaxing space for alumni to reconnect with former classmates and with Michener in between attending sessions. 141 visits were recorded and 63 Michener alumni and students were entered into a draw for some fun door prizes. And if that wasn't enough, visitors were treated to chair massages, manicures and treats throughout the day. Thanks to all who volunteered and to the alumni who dropped in to reconnect, remember, rediscover, and re-engage. We look forward to staying in touch! View the photo gallery from this event online.
If you visited the Hospitality Suite, please complete this short survey to tell us your thoughts about this event.
