ESCANABA — Each year, Bay College selects an outstanding graduate from each of the six divisions at the college. The graduate is selected by their instructors for their academic excellence, leadership, and community service.

Shaun Gogolewski was selected as the 2020 Outstanding Graduate for the Business Division, with the award being sponsored by Schneider, Larche, Haapala & Company, the Bay College Faculty Association, and the Bay College Foundation.

A graduate of North Central High School, he will earn an associate in applied science degree in accounting from Bay College.

“I chose Bay College because it was close to home and affordable, which were two important factors for me. Bay College has helped me succeed by giving me a quality education with a dedicated and friendly teaching staff. It has also opened many doors to the job market,” Gogolewski said.

He will continue his education at Lake Superior State University to pursue a bachelor’s degree in accounting.

Gogolewski enjoys fishing, hunting, hiking, golfing, video games and spending time with family and friends.
