Chancellor’s Club Scholarship Award Winner
Biography
Paul is a little unsure about his future career. However, he is interested in pursuing a career in either research or medicine. However, what he does know is that he wants to help people, both locally and internationally, to make positive change.
Before coming to ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓÆµµ¼º½, Paul graduated from St. Mary's High School. His top three achievements in high school were: being co-president of the Interact club, aiming to get high school students involved in the community through volunteering at school and various organizations; his Vice-President role in the Tuscany Venture Company allowed him to connect to the community through outdoor activities; and lastly, through the Rotary Youth Exchange Program, he lived in Spain for a year. Not only did he enrich my understanding of the Spanish language and culture, he fostered lasting friendships with other foreign exchange students.
Paul chose to study here as the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓÆµµ¼º½ gives students a myriad of unique experiences outside of academics; the university offers opportunities for students to study in over 200 universities. He is also interested in the university’s profound research-intensive mandate. Moreover, he is drawn to the prestigious atmosphere at the university, since it is a top 10 university in Canada. Foremost, the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓÆµµ¼º½ places emphasis on innovative thinking, for example, being a neuroscience student, he is fascinated by the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓÆµµ¼º½'s prominent role in the development of the neurochip.
Paul explains the impact of receipt of the Chancellor’s Club Scholarship: “The Chancellor's Club Scholarship will aid me in forming connections with other like-minded students and community leaders. As well, the scholarship will allow me to pursue my passion of helping people through volunteer work and leadership. Words cannot describe how truly appreciative I am of the donors of the Chancellor's Club Scholarship. Thank you for continuing to support the development and education of future leaders.â€
