What this scholarship meant to her: Having graduated in May
2006, I was honoured to be presented with the Undergraduate BIRKS
medal for leadership.
Memorial University has such a rich, vibrant student
community. From my first day on campus, I yearned to get involved and
make new friends. Through out my four years on-campus, I was involved
with numerous societies. I was told on my very first day at
Orientation to "make the most of Memorial" - so I did. (you see,
sometimes Leaders follow - or at least, take direction.)
Memorial has helped me become the confident, opintionated,
strong critical thinker that I am today and has shaped the leader
that I'll continue to be tommorow.
