A wall of distinction for alumni has been unveiled at St. Clair College in Chatham.
The wall provides a lasting testament to the alumni for building rewarding careers and for their commitment to their communities.
Six 2017 outstanding alumni were honoured at the unveiling on Friday, including Judy Robinet, Founder and Executive Director of A Life Worth Living in Windsor.

A Life Worth Living helps people with impairments like vision loss. Robinet says being on the wall is an honour.
"It does feel nice because it shows the work that you've done has been enjoyed and appreciated and has made a difference in the community and that makes such a big difference," says Robinet.
St. Clair College has honoured 102 alumni since 1992.
Robinet says her career wouldn't be possible without St. Clair College.
"St. Clair College gave me an opportunity to go to school because I was refused post-secondary education because of disability and impairment. They would educate me to entertain [me] but they would not educate me to a career and St. Clair College took that on," Robinet says.
Robinet says she was shocked because she didn't even know that she was nominated.
"It's still a surprise but it's wonderful how well the community has taken the news because now A Life Worth Living and our goals to reach people and to change their lives has had some publicity," says Robinet.
