    Former @masuofficial president Emelyana Titarenko ('20) is helping to drive change in Canadian politics as the director of communications for the Office of the President of the Treasury Board of Canada. At 27, she is one of the youngest directors on Parliament Hill.

“It was the opportunities that I had through the MASU that helped shape my perspective in terms of social justice, policy creation, and the way to drive change,” says Titarenko. “I know I would never be in the place that I am now if it weren’t for my involvement in the Students’ Union. The opportunities Mount A gave me were really unique.”

A psychology graduate with minors in biology and political science, Titarenko believes there is a big interplay among psychology, politics, and communication — understanding behavioural change and human psychology to help shape the way policies are developed and communicated.

    A new #micropress has set up shop at Mount Allison! 

High Marsh Press, spearheaded by English professor Dr. Geordie Miller and library staff member Keagan Hawthorne, follows in the footsteps of a longstanding print tradition on campus.

“This is a way for Mount A to connect to the contemporary scene of poetry and publishing as well as to the literary heritage of this province.”

Operating as a collaborative effort between the Departments of English and Fine Arts and the R.P. Bell Library, the micropress utilizes the full letterpress available in the Purdy Crawford Centre for the Arts (PCCA) to print chapbooks — small booklets typically containing collections of poems, short stories, or essays.

High Marsh Press not only provides a new platform for emerging poets but also offers students on campus with valuable hands-on opportunities. While this first year served as a pilot phase, Miller and Hawthorne envision involving students across disciplines in every facet of the process, including editing, printing, design, and outreach efforts.
