The Conestoga College flag will fly at half-mast over the next week in honour of Conestoga student Nimisha Varghese who passed away on Friday, May 12.
Nimisha began studying at Conestoga in the Health Care Administration and Service Management program at the Waterloo campus in spring 2022. She was an excellent student who held a bachelor's and master's degree in biotechnology. As a caring classmate and friend, Nimisha will be greatly missed by her many friends and family in India and Canada. Condolences are extended to those who had the pleasure to work and study alongside her.
