arts/Science
Aneke Mendarozqueta, a Portage Collegiate and Lester B. Pearson College graduate, has received the prestigious Bell Achievement Award, valued at $36,000 over four years. Mendarozqueta, who is studying Arts and Science, says, “I wanted a small school with a good prof to student ratio (Mount Allison’s is 1:16). I didn’t want to be a number. I also wanted to explore another part of Canada that I had never lived in before.”

Graham May
International Relations/Environmental Studies
Graham May of Powell River, BC has received the Bell Scholarship, valued at $48,000 over four years. Studying international relations and environmental studies, May is finding his decision to look East to be a good fit. “I’ve found that Mount Allison combines the advantages of a small university, where you can work directly with professors and be part of a tight-knit community, with the opportunity and distinction of a larger university. Essentially, it’s the best of both worlds, and that’s exactly what I wanted.”

Tessa Morris
International Relations
Tessa Morris of Elgin, ON has received a Bell Scholarship valued at $48,000 over four years. When asked why she looked East for post-secondary studies, she says the answer was two-fold. “Firstly, Mount Allison’s size. I come from a small town and was looking for the same kind of environment… Secondly, its reputation…With this in mind, my family and I came out to Sackville last fall for a campus tour. I immediately knew it was the place for me — it's the only school I applied to!”

Student - Rhodes Scholar
Despite the goodwill of aid organizations and millions in funding, attempts to help people in developing countries frequently fail. Part of the problem lies in the fact that often the people they are trying to help are not consulted. International relations student Rebecca Anne Dixon is looking at this problem for her honours project and spent this summer in Delhi, in researching what platforms exist for public consultation in urban development projects.
