    A former DVSS valedictorian had the honour bestowed upon him again, this time by his  kinesiology classmates at Queen’s University.
    Brown graduated from DVSS in 2016 and delivered the class address. In pursuit of studying medicine, he was awarded the prestigious Chernoff Family Award and began the Kinesiology program at Queen’s University in Kingston Ontario.

He was voted Class Valedictorian by the 170 graduating students in his program.
    Due to physical distancing protocols in light of COVID-19, he delivered his address to the class through an Internet conference.
    “The pandemic sure has thrown a wrench in our graduation celebrations, but we’re doing our best to enjoy our accomplishment regardless of physical distance,” said Brown.
     Right now he is finishing up his classes and has applied for Medical School at McMaster  University. Unfortunately because of COVID -19, his interview was cancelled. He is still hopeful
    “There is still a chance I am admitted this May without an interview, but if I am not, I am guaranteed another interview next spring. So, for now, I’m just studying for final exams and crossing my fingers as I wait for an email from McMaster,” said Brown.
