Student Spring Awards
The donor-funded Student Spring Awards honour the achievements and determination of 13 mature women students.
카지노 게임 컬렉션When I came to Kingston with an 11-month-old to start my degree, I knew no one in this town, but the Ban Righ Centre became my home,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Antara Arif, PhD candidate, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, and 2023 recipient of the Janet Bilton-Holst Citation. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I have been through various struggles as a student-parent, and I must say, I would not have been able to continue without the support of the BRC. I thank the friends and family of Janet Bilton-Holst who established this award. It reminds us how precious we are as individuals and how we can help to create a compassionate environment for all of us.카지노 게임 컬렉션
