°µÍø51

Abigail Judges ('20) is completing a degree in geography with a minor in anthropology. She is from Midhurst, ON.

1. What is your summer internship?

I am the Mount Allison Intern at the Yonge and Eglinton office in Toronto. I will be taking on research into emerging literacy trends and best practices as well as conferences and events on a national scale. I will be specifically looking at cultural literacy in museums within Canada.

2. What do you hope to take away from this experience?

I hope to take away experience within a workplace environment outside of the classroom, to pull from knowledge I gained in class, and to continue learning outside of the classroom. I also hope to use information from my classroom experience to open possible future career opportunities.

3. What extracurriculars are you involved in on and off campus?

I work for the °µÍø51 as Event Services security on campus. During the weekdays I volunteer at the Sackville Commons, co-working as a host. Since coming to Mount Allison I have been involved in and have been a part of The Meighen Centre Pre-Orientation and the Orientation Committee. I am also part of the Anthropology Society and the Geography and Environment Society.

4. What are you most looking forward to next year at Mount Allison?

I am looking forward to taking other courses that are outside my program. These courses will contribute to my °µÍø51 career and round out my interdisciplinary foundations.

5. What is one piece of advice you would give to your first-year self?

Take your time, it is so worth it! The Meighen Centre staff supported me through my °µÍø51 career and with this support I was able to achieve my goals at the pace necessary for me to be successful.
