Feb. 18:  Mara Whitford, Bayside Scholarship Recipient

Feb 18. This morning, we had the opportunity to hear how Mara Whitford, our Bayside scholarship recipient of 2015-2016, has made out after her first semester at Queens University. Mara has started a general science program and plans to specialize in the future. After experiencing the normal nerves of life away from home, Mara joined her Gael group during Frosh Week. In fact, she is hoping to be a Gael leader next year. While working hard on her courses, she also enjoyed special lectures on black holes and AIDS. Next year, Mara plans to join a group raising money for schools in Africa and will be part of a task force examining poverty and homelessness in Kingston. Mara finished by thanking our club for its much appreciated support.
