Andrew Christie, BPAPM/05, has been awarded a highly coveted fellowship from the Canadian Council for the Advancement of Education. The 2005 Meloche Monnex Fellowship in Advancement is an opportunity for Christie to gain valuable work experience in alumni affairs, communications and fundraising as an intern with Carleton’s Department of Development and Alumni.
“I’m humbled to have been chosen to receive this award and look forward to helping current students develop stronger ties with their alma mater,” says Christie, whose impressive academic accomplishments, along with a comprehensive résumé brimming with volunteer work and community involvement, greatly impressed the selection committee.
Over the next year, Christie will work to establish the Alumni Student Awareness Program to better involve the current student body in the activities of the Carleton University Alumni Association.
