During her time at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, Afsheen Chowdhury (ConEd카지노 게임 컬렉션�19), like many students, has been involved in numerous extra-curricular activities.

She has been a residence don for three years, serves as a Board Member for the Levana Gender Advocacy Centre (LGAC) and held several positions on the Concurrent Education Student Association (CESA), for example.

What makes her stand out from other students, however, has been her participation in the governance of the university 카지노 게임 컬렉션� student Senator for the Faculty of Education; member and co-chair of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 Board-Senate Advisory Committee; member of the Joint Board-Senate Principalship Search Committee; and, perhaps most significantly, member of the 카지노게임사이트 Council on Anti-Racism and Equity (UCARE).

For all her contributions and continuing commitment, Chowdhury is the inaugural winner of the Margaret Hooey Governance Award.

The award was established in November 2018 by the estate of Margaret Hooey (LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션�02), the long-time secretary of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s who was admired for her dedication to the university as well as the welfare of her colleagues, students, friends and family. The award is given to a student enrolled in any degree program at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s who has made an outstanding contribution to the good governance of the university through work with Senate or any committee of the Senate.

For Chowdhury, receiving the award has been both exciting and humbling.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a little surreal. I think it is everything that went into it and this is the end of my journey here, after everything that has happened,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Receiving an award like this is an important reminder that the work you do has a real tangible impact to the people beyond the borders of that room and beyond the Senate.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The award committee was unanimous in selecting Chowdhury as the inaugural winner. Letters of support mentioned her 카지노 게임 컬렉션�thoughtful comments and opinions,카지노 게임 컬렉션� 카지노 게임 컬렉션�impressive insights,카지노 게임 컬렉션� and keen interest in Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s governance processes.

While she had already been actively involved in governance at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, a turning point came when she ran for rector in 2017. During the campaign week she received many messages from students 카지노 게임 컬렉션� Muslim students, international students, students of colour 카지노 게임 컬렉션� telling her how important it was to see someone just like them standing up and trying to make a difference in the university community.

Ultimately, her campaign was not successful but the experience set her on a new path, one that led her to become a champion for equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We always talk about how representation matters but then you realize that it really does matter. This is about people feeling safe and realizing they can be someone,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Chowdhury says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�That카지노 게임 컬렉션�s when I really started to take it seriously and I said even if I don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t win the election I was still a senator and I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m still going to sit on the principal selection committee. I was going to move forward and I still wanted to do the things that I promised during the campaign.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

As much as she has contributed during her time at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, Chowdhury is quick to point out all that she has gained, particularly through her various roles with Senate. In the end her time as a senator wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t about networking but about personal and community growth.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I think what really went a long way for me, especially sitting on Senate, was building community and genuine connections. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s sharing our stories with each other,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The people who nominated me for this award were my friends, they are people who I had dinner with and it is such a blessing to have friends who are in their 40s, 50s, 60s, who are giving this wisdom but also treating me as an equal and feeling that I can have some wisdom to provide for them. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s people who genuinely pick you up and pick each other up throughout the process.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

A Pillar of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Community

She played a key role in shaping Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s modern governances system and was an advocate for the unique form of student government.
