After doing some travelling, he then spent two years as a Research Associate at the Public Policy Forum in Ottawa, working on a range of policy projects that ran the gambit from economic policy to homecare. In 2007, he left to pursue a Master카지노 게임 컬렉션s of Public Policy from the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto카지노 게임 컬렉션s new School of Public Policy and Governance. André is now a Policy Advisor to the Deputy Minister of Finance for the Province of Ontario, advising on files including taxation, pensions, alcohol and gaming. The role entails a variety of things. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Part of the job is advising the Deputy Minister on policy files or updating him on issues,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says, 카지노 게임 컬렉션but it also includes managing relations with the Minister카지노 게임 컬렉션s Office, coordinating across Finance and with other ministries, helping to bring forward policy or regulatory submissions to Cabinet, and a range of 카지노 게임 컬렉션other duties as assigned카지노 게임 컬렉션.카지노 게임 컬렉션
André카지노 게임 컬렉션s experience at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s played a critical role in developing the skills that has allowed him to succeed in the world of work. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The broad focus on liberal arts skills 카지노 게임 컬렉션writing, research and analysis, verbal communication카지노 게임 컬렉션 that were core elements in the history program are central to my present role,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The ability to think and discuss, the ability to read and synthesize large volumes of texts-- these core skills are critical. At Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, I was also made aware of a broad array of issues and ideas 카지노 게임 컬렉션from political economy to medieval history. This breadth of knowledge and range of perspectives has served me well.카지노 게임 컬렉션
We asked André what he remembers most about Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s History: 카지노 게임 컬렉션I had some fantastic classes. Some I ended up in quite unexpectedly but really enjoyed, such as a class focusing on Ireland in the nineteenth century and a seminar on the history of Islamic thought. There was an amazing class taught by a Colonel in the Canadian Forces, Bernd Horn, on the history of counterinsurgency, which was particularly fascinating as Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s role in Afghanistan was taking shape. These and other courses had a really significant impact on my interests and career path.카지노 게임 컬렉션
More generally, we asked, 카지노 게임 컬렉션what did you enjoy about Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s카지노 게임 컬렉션? André did not hesitate: 카지노 게임 컬렉션I lived in a big house in the ghetto with six really good guys. It was a fantastic social experience, and I am still best friends with them. By fourth year, I카지노 게임 컬렉션d really focused on my academics, immersing myself in books and articles. But Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s was particularly memorable for the social aspect, and I benefited greatly from it. From the Homecoming parties and the fabulous alumni we met, to some of the inspiring professors I encountered and the amazing friends I made, I look back fondly on my Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s years.카지노 게임 컬렉션
