Ava Graham, a dedicated university student at Cape Breton University (CBU), has recently been honored with the esteemed McCall MacBain Regional Award. This recognition celebrates outstanding university students who exhibit exceptional qualities such as community engagement, leadership potential, academic strength, and intellectual curiosity.
Despite initially considering pursuing her post-secondary studies off the island following her high school friends, Ava’s perspective shifted when she was offered a scholarship to attend CBU. The personal connection she felt during the interview process and the unique opportunities presented by a smaller student community led her to choose CBU over larger universities.
Since joining CBU, Ava has immersed herself in campus life, taking on various roles within the student body, including serving as the Executive Vice President of the CBU Students’ Union. Her involvement with the Chemistry Society and her contributions to organizing events like ChemCon and fundraisers demonstrate her commitment to both academic excellence and community engagement.
The McCall MacBain Regional Award not only acknowledges Ava’s individual accomplishments but also highlights the supportive environment and abundant opportunities available to students at CBU. This prestigious award will provide her with funding for a master’s or professional program at any public university in Canada, further fueling her academic journey.
Reflecting on her achievements, Ava emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and encourages fellow students to pursue opportunities like the McCall MacBain scholarships. She credits her success to the unwavering support of her family, friends, and mentors at CBU, underscoring the significance of a nurturing educational environment for student growth and development.
As Ava continues to excel in her academic pursuits and community involvement, her journey stands as a testament to the transformative power of a university education. Congratulations to Ava Graham on this well-deserved recognition, and may her future endeavors be as bright as her accomplishments at Cape Breton University.
