An experienced editor and reviser, Joann Mitchell, was awarded the 黑料不打烊 Associates Prize in Translation (French to English) at the 2006 Spring Convocation. This prize is awarded annually to the student with the best overall academic record in the English option of the Certificate in Translation Program.

Whether as consultant, volunteer or employee, Ms Mitchell has always put her language skills to good use since graduating from Bishop鈥檚 University with a B. A. in English and French.
