Shirley Tilghman and Michele Romanow

How Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Inspired A CBC 카지노 게임 컬렉션Dragon카지노 게임 컬렉션 And A Former Princeton 카지노게임사이트 President

Shirley Tilghman, Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션68, DSc카지노 게임 컬렉션02, is a leading molecular biology researcher and was president of Princeton 카지노게임사이트 for 12 years. Michele Romanow, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션07, MBA카지노 게임 컬렉션08, is a successful entrepreneur who has started four companies, including the Tea Room at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, and is now a panellist on the popular CBC TV show Dragons카지노 게임 컬렉션 Den.

They are both are being honoured at the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 Alumni Association Awards Gala on April 2 and both credit Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s for giving them the tools to launch successful careers.

Dr. Tilghman is receiving the Alumni Achievement Award 카지노 게임 컬렉션 the highest honour presented by the QUAA. Past recipients include astronaut Drew Feustel, PhD카지노 게임 컬렉션95, Governor General David Johnson, Law카지노 게임 컬렉션66, and sculptor Adrienne Alison, Artsci'76. Ms. Romanow, who is only 30, is receiving the One to Watch Award, which is given to a graduate (fewer than 10 years out) who is making significant contributions to their field.

Dr. Tilghman felt Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s was a place that cared deeply about giving her a good education.

카지노 게임 컬렉션My four years at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s were glorious! The wonderful opportunities that the faculty in the Department of Chemistry afforded me to experience what it means to do research 카지노 게임 컬렉션 as opposed to reading about it 카지노 게임 컬렉션 are responsible for my becoming a scientist, says Dr. Tilghman. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The generous mentorship and encouragement at a time when few women were entering careers in science made all the difference in the world and my future.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Dr. Tilghman, who studied chemistry, is grateful for some honest advise her chemistry professor gave her which had a profound and positive impact on her life 카지노 게임 컬렉션 he told her that he did not think chemistry was right for her.

카지노 게임 컬렉션He said I should think about what other branches of science to pursue. It sounds cruel but he was doing me an enormous favour. That카지노 게임 컬렉션s what led me on the path where I eventually ended up 카지노 게임 컬렉션 molecular biology,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Tilghman.

Ms. Romanow카지노 게임 컬렉션s first business venture happened while she was a student at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. She launched the Tea Room, which at the time was North America카지노 게임 컬렉션s first zero-consumer-waste coffee shop. The project took two years to get off the ground and she had to negotiate with various school officials and student organizations. She raised capital by organizing fundraisers and entering business plan competitions. It was profitable in its first year and is still around almost a decade later in Beamish-Munro Hall.   

카지노 게임 컬렉션Giving students responsibility and the right to run things and make mistakes is really important. That was one of the greatest parts of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. I honestly do not believe I would be an entrepreneur if I hadn카지노 게임 컬렉션t started a business so early in my career,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Ms. Romanow, who received the Agnes Benidickson Tricolour Award in 2007.
