    Paige Piché (’24) What’s next? Pursuing a master’s of arts in classical and near eastern archeology at the University of British Columbia.

“The Department of Classical Studies is a tight-knit community where you will have small class sizes and get to know your professor very well! The department also has many travel opportunities to conduct hands-on experience in the field.”

    Selina Khan (‘24) What’s next? I plan to travel as much as I can for the next year or two. My travel plans so far include Colombia & Europe this summer, driving across Canada in the fall, Guatemala in November, the Caribbean from January to April 2025 and then possibly back to Europe after that.

“I have loved being an International Relations and Sociology student! Both fields of study have given me a better understanding and appreciation of the world and how it works, making me fall even more in love with the non-profit sector which is my intended field of work. My internship with Moving Forward Co-op has been one of the biggest highlights of my entire university experience.”

    Mount Allison students have recently returned from the 2024 Galápagos Islands Conservation Physiology Field School in Biology!

Led by Dr. Andrea Morash, students learned how the physiology of animals can help in the conservation management of threatened species in one of the most biodiverse and complex ecosystems on the planet — the Galápagos Islands.

Students visited several field sites to collect environmental data, determine animal assemblages, and use that data in conjunction with local predictions of climate change impacts to understand what animals might have the capacity to adapt, and how the ecosystem might change in the future. Field trips involved snorkelling, boat surveys, and coastal treks at various locations around the islands.
