Vanier College is pleased to announce that student Ion Diacenco is the recipient of a $500 Desjardins Foundation Sport-études bursary.
Ion Diacenco, who is in the Computer Science Technology program, earned his diploma in three years while playing water polo at a high level. A highly motivated student-athlete, he took full advantage of the guidance offered by Alliance Sport-Études and his teachers, in addition to taking distance education courses to optimize his time.
In the pool, the player helped the Canadian men's team earn a spot at the World Aquatics Championships next July when he and his teammates won silver at the Pan American Championships in Colombia last fall. A few months earlier, he was also part of the national team that finished second at the Pan American Junior Championships.
Ion now aims to continue his studies in software engineering at McGill University with a view to working in cybersecurity one day. He would also like to play water polo in a professional league abroad.
Congratulations and best of luck to Ion Diacenco.
