Donor Story:
As a graduate student in epidemiology at Queen’s University, I really enjoyed the academic environment in the Department of Public Health Sciences. The faculty helped me develop critical thinking skills that I use daily in my career as an investment portfolio manager. Although I am not working in public health or epidemiology, the open-minded spirit and critical thinking training became a part of me that has enhanced my successful career. I hope that students will continue to enjoy conducting research with Dr Aronson and other faculty, and I hope this scholarship can reduce their financial burden.
