Recent graduate Michèle Sandiford celebrates her second year in a row as a Scholar, having pursued a double major in Theological Studies and at the School of Community and Public Affairs.
“I'm very appreciative to be named a Scholar for the second time,” Sandiford says.
“It's rewarding to be recognized for the work put into my academics in my final two years.”
Sandiford praised Concordia for allowing her to pursue diverse interests during her undergraduate studies.
“I was drawn to the unique program at the School of Community and Public Affairs because of its interdisciplinary and hands-on approach in examining and confronting injustice.”
As her studies progressed, Sandiford’s interests led her down new avenues.
“I later joined the department of Theological Studies out of curiosity about religious issues and the history and impact of the church on modern society,” she says.
Sandiford has been busy since graduation, now working as Operations Manager for Shelter Movers Montreal, a non-profit organization that supports survivors of intimate partner and gender-based violence.
“I'm excited to be working in the community sector,” Sandiford says.
“My time at the School of Community and Public Affairs prepared me well for this new opportunity.”
