    Alumni College Scholar Update: Marina Musleh ’24 (Renfrew)

    The Advancement & Community Engagement team reached out to recent alumna, Impact Scholar, and 2024-25 Alumni College Fund Scholarship Recipient Marina Musleh ’24 (Renfrew), to hear about her first year at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

    “I arrived in Fredericton, New Brunswick, to begin my journey at university. I will never forget sitting by the window on the plane from Toronto, looking down at a quiet and unfamiliar city. Unlike past arrivals, there was no one waiting for me – no familiar faces, no welcome signs. It was just me, a taxi ride, and a new beginning,” shares Marina.
