COON RAPIDS HONOREES

Chi Vue, Outstanding Student of the Year

“In the Spring of 2020, the culture of Anoka-Ramsey Community College was altered when a transfer student from the University of Minnesota arrived for his first classes. Chi Vue, a Business Office Technology major, is that student and he changed the culture through his commitment to be the best student he could be. Over a year later, Mr. Vue has not altered from that goal for even a day – pandemic and racial injustice included. The impact that he has had on me alone has made going through this last year a little easier. Vue models what it means to be a successful student; combined with his humble attitude, is a recipe for a great leader,” Michelle Laumb-Michels, nominator and Business instructor
