Graduating B.PAPM student Martha Chertkow will be presented with the University’s Henry Marshall Tory Award at the Convocation ceremony June 8.
Established in 1950, the H.M. Tory Award honours a top academic student who has been active extracurricularly and who demonstrates the qualities of leadership.
In addition to her stellar academic record, Martha has worked for three members of Parliament, played French horn in the Carleton Chamber Music Ensemble, performed in The Vagina Monologues, was president of the Carleton chapter of Students Taking Action Now: Darfur, served as a research assistant to Prof. James Milner, and as a vice president of AKCESS organized the riotously successful “Are You Smarter Than A Kroeger Kid?” events in 2010 and 2011.
Upon graduation, Martha will be taking up an internship with the United Nations Development Programme’s Justice System Programme in Timor-Leste.
