After a rigorous six-month scholarship application process, including two rounds of interviews, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s student Nicole Osayande (BCmp카지노 게임 컬렉션�21) has been named one of 20 Canadians chosen as inaugural McCall MacBain Scholars. The scholarship enables students to pursue a fully funded master카지노 게임 컬렉션�s or professional degree at McGill 카지노게임사이트 while connecting with mentors and participating in an intensive leadership development program. It is the country카지노 게임 컬렉션�s first comprehensive leadership-based scholarship for master카지노 게임 컬렉션�s and professional studies.

More than 735 people applied for the McCall MacBain Scholarships, 132 participated in regional interviews with local leaders in November, and 50 were invited to final interviews in March. Scholars were chosen based on their character, community engagement, leadership potential, entrepreneurial spirit, academic strength, and intellectual curiosity.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Opportunities to practice leadership have been a highlight of my time at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, and they have led me to the McCall MacBain Scholarships,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Osayande. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The fact that it is leadership-based, and I'll be able to explore my passion project with like-minded individuals is invaluable, and I thank Queen's for giving me the platform to impact and be heard."

Osayande started the to encourage other students of diverse backgrounds to consider applying to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, after hearing she was one of the first students in her Toronto high school카지노 게임 컬렉션�s history to attend the university. She served as president for three years, building a team of more than 30 students. Nicole also organized a campus-wide African, South American, and Caribbean culture 카지노 게임 컬렉션�cook-out카지노 게임 컬렉션� for students after noticing a gap in Black history programming in residence.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�EDI (equity, diversity, inclusion) work has been a large part of my identity at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Osayande. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I often struggled with feeling like my educational background wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t strong enough, or up to par with my colleagues. Especially growing up in Jane and Finch, I saw how my community was portrayed in the media and compounded with the stereotypes of Black people in society. I chose EDI work because that is what카지노 게임 컬렉션�s closest to home for me.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Osayande is studying biomedical computing at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트. She worked with a professor to build software modules for a hip replacement surgery tool and held part-time and summer positions in Undergraduate Admission and Recruitment (UAR), where her contributions included data analysis and supporting the work of the UAR EDII Task Force.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Nicole has been an exemplary member of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s community throughout her time at the university, particularly for her impassioned leadership in equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives. We congratulate her on earning this impressive scholarship,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Deputy Provost (Academic Operations and Inclusion) Teri Shearer.

Osayande will pursue a master카지노 게임 컬렉션�s degree in biological and biomedical engineering at McGill.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m excited to explore new ways to solve medical mysteries and phenomena with computing and engineering applications,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. "What drew me to Queen's was its one-of-a-kind program --Biomedical Computing; and through this specialization program, I have been able to delve into my creative and innovative side in a way I never knew possible"

Two additional Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s students, Mikyla Callaghan and Rhianna Hamilton, were offered McCall MacBain Finalist Awards ($10,000) for their master카지노 게임 컬렉션�s or professional studies.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The global challenges we face as a society need the energy and entrepreneurial spirit of these scholars,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says John McCall MacBain, who, together with his wife Dr. Marcy McCall MacBain, created these scholarships through a historic $200 million gift. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Through this scholarship program, they카지노 게임 컬렉션�ll have opportunities to deepen their knowledge, develop their leadership skills, and create meaningful connections that will enable them to bring about positive change. We want to congratulate these students and recognize the hundreds of candidates across Canada who were considered for this scholarship.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
