Earlier this year, Ava was awarded the McCall MacBain Regional Award which recognizes students who have demonstrated exceptional character, community engagement, leadership potential, entrepreneurial spirit, academic strength and intellectual curiosity. The prestigious award will provide her with funding for a full-time master’s or professional program at any public university in Canada.
Ava says after finding out she had won, she immediately wanted to reach out to all those, from parents and friends to professors, who supported her through the application process. « Now that it has settled in a bit, I’m not only reflecting on winning the award but also on my time at CBU as a whole, » she says. « I’ve had an amazing undergraduate experience and I’m really grateful for everything that has led me to this point. I’m proud to have received this award on a personal level, but I think it also speaks to the incredible opportunities and the level of support students receive here at CBU. »
