University of Saskatchewan (USask) students Minh Au and Julia Morelli are finalists for the first global cohort of McCall MacBain Scholars at McGill University.
Au is an engineering physics student who leads a student group dedicated to design and innovation in biomedical engineering. She has worked and volunteered as an editor for the university’s student-run newspaper, tutored students at a Vietnamese language school, and managed social media for a financial literacy club. “Getting shortlisted for the McCall MacBain Scholarships is a great honour and feels like an affirmation of my hard work,” said Au.
Morelli is a political studies student working as a constituency assistant for two Members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan. She also helps first-year students learn to conduct research and is a seasonal farmhand for the family business. “I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to learn more about myself and grow as an academic, a leader, and a person,” said Morelli.
