EDH_David_Campbell_February2021_good

For going above and beyond to support Electrical apprentices during their studies at the college, David Campbell is a Mohawk College Everyday Hero. A full-time, licensed Electrician by day, David spends his spare time tutoring apprentices in Mohawk’s Electrician Construction and Maintenance program. He has been tutoring in his spare time for close to 10 years and when the pandemic required that learning shift to an online format, David offered to continue to tutor students virtually, juggling his own work schedule with that of the students in need of additional support. His experience and knowledge have helped many apprentices understand difficult concepts when reviewing their work outside of class. His dedication to Mohawk and his willingness to help students in his spare time speaks to his commitment to student learning and success at Mohawk. Thank you, David.
