Vincent Beaudry, MPPA
I was a paralegal in Quebec before joining the before going to university. I initially decided to pursue my bachelor’s degree because I dared myself that I could do it. But very early on a friend of mine told me about the possibility of completing a master’s degree after and to enter the civil service through the academia.
While working for the Department of Immigration I applied to numerous schools, but Carleton was my favourite because the program just had, in my opinion, the most interesting course load. With a heavier focus on economics, political economy, and a number of core courses that felt relevant to what I experienced while working in government. Now that I am here, I’m experiencing a participative and approach to learning. I know that I’ve made the right choice. I also like how everybody acts like one big family, I felt welcome from day one.
