Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 is getting ready for convocation, and this year카지노 게임 컬렉션�s ceremonies will be a milestone for an important access initiative. The first two graduates of the Promise Scholars program, which provides comprehensive supports to local, first-generation students, will be donning their caps and gowns and crossing the stage to receive their bachelor카지노 게임 컬렉션�s degrees.

Reem Gharib, who recently completed the commerce program, is one of the Promise Scholar graduates. Gharib grew up in Kingston and started at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s in fall 2020. As she gets ready to finish her undergraduate experience, she is looking back on how much she카지노 게임 컬렉션�s grown over the past four years.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Being a Promise Scholar has been a transformative experience and it was truly an honour to be part of the first cohort of the program,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Gharib. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I was able to pursue my dream program because of this scholarship. I know I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m never going to forget the opportunities it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s given me.  The support that my fellow scholars and I received through the scholarship is unmatched. From academic to career support, the Promise Scholars program has really helped me in my four years and removed a lot of barriers, which helped reduce the stress of being a student.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

All Promise Scholars receive academic and career support in addition to four years of funding of $60,000-$100,000 (depending on program) that enables scholars to graduate loan free with no repayable debt. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s connects Promise Scholars with guidance even before they start their studies by enrolling them in QSuccess, a mentorship program that pairs a first-year student with an upper-year student mentor.

Gharib credits QSuccess with helping her adjust to university, especially amid the uncertainties of the pandemic. She appreciated the mentorship she received so much she decided to become a QSuccess mentor herself to help first-years starting after her.

Gharib played an active role in other campus groups as well throughout her time as an undergraduate, getting involved in the Smith Commerce Society, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Women in Leadership Club, and The Agency, a student-run marketing organization.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Taking part in extracurriculars really enriched my experience at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Gharib. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�They gave me opportunities to learn different skills and lead teams, which I know will serve me well in the workplace. And they also allowed me to make a tangible impact on the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s community. I think it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s really important for students to be able to leave university feeling like they카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve made a difference for other students, and I카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve been able to do that at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Now Gharib is preparing to begin a full-time job at an insurance company in Kingston. Looking to the future, she hopes to one day take on a leadership role in the workplace and maybe start a company of her own, building on the skills she has acquired from running her own photography business.
