B.PAPM graduate Kaitlyn Finner will be presented with the Carleton University Board of Governors Award for Outstanding Community Achievement at the June 6th Convocation ceremony. The award recognizes an individual’s commitment to the not-for-profit sector while pursuing full-time studies.
While completing her degree Kaitlyn volunteered extensively with a range of Carleton and community groups including Carleton’s First Year Experience Office (now the Student Experience Office), Carleton’s Engineers Without Borders Chapter, the Cuernavaca Centre for Intercultural Dialogue on Development in Mexico, Nexos Voluntarios in Peru through a Kroeger College internship, and a four month fellowship with Engineers Without Borders in rural Ghana.
Kaitlyn will begin a Master’s of Arts in Geography at McGill University in September 2012 where she will research the linkages between climate change adaptation and health outcomes on Inuit communities in Northern Canada.
