Program of Study: BA (Honours) Political Science/English/Certificate in Public Administration

What this scholarship means 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, opinionated, strong critical thinker that I am today and has shaped the leader that I'll continue to be tommorow.
