The Gift of Learning | Bader Celebrations
Education changed Susan Solomon카지노 게임 컬렉션s life.
The Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션17, MIR카지노 게임 컬렉션18 alumna was born in Sudan during that country카지노 게임 컬렉션s civil war, which killed two million and caused wide-spread famine. Her family fled and she was raised in a refugee camp in neighbouring Kenya.
Options were limited for people in the camp, but Solomon knew one way to get out was to do well in school and earn a scholarship.
She attended Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and received the Principal Wallace Freedom of Opportunity Award, a comprehensive financial award established by the visionary benefactors are celebrating this month, Alfred Bader, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션45, BA카지노 게임 컬렉션46, MSc카지노 게임 컬렉션47, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션86, and Isabel Bader, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션07, to help international refugees study at Queen's.
Solomon was surprised and inspired to learn that Alfred was once a refugee like her. Dr. Bader, who was Jewish, was born in Austria, but fled Europe to escape the rise of Nazi Germany.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It blew me away,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Solomon, 카지노 게임 컬렉션As a refugee kid running away from atrocities, it blew me away that somebody else that went through the same things and threw the rope back down, and I am climbing up the same ladder.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Alfred Bader understood the value of education and wanted others to benefit from studying at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s like he did.
Thanks to the Baders카지노 게임 컬렉션 generosity, Solomon did not have to worry about paying for tuition, food, or textbooks. For the first time, money and supporting herself were not a concern and she could completely focus on school.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It is the most generous award I could have received as (I was) someone who was coming from a place where I had absolutely nothing,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Solomon says.
Solomon did her undergrad in history and earned a Master of Industrial Relations. She now works as a labour-relations specialist at Canada Post in Mississauga, Ont.
She was able to thank the Baders personally when they visited the campus in 2013.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I told him the only way I could repay him and his family is to work really hard in school so that their sacrifice and whatever finances they invested in me bore fruit,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Solomon says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션And that카지노 게임 컬렉션s exactly what I did.카지노 게임 컬렉션
