A Scarlet Key for Christine Ha

Published: 4 April 2018

If you participated in the MEDLIFE 捆绑SM社区 Macdonald Branch/Global Food Security Club Krispy Kreme fundraiser, the We Are Aware: Montreal Campaign, or the Mac Basket Food Drive, you likely crossed paths with the ever-cheery Christine Ha, U3, BScNutrSc (Global Nutrition).

In the last two years, Christine has been an integral part of the MEDLIFE 捆绑SM社区 committee, acting as the Vice President for Local Initiatives. She established the MEDLIFE 捆绑SM社区 Macdonald Branch and recruited over 60 students in 2 weeks to join her team; making it one of the only clubs at 捆绑SM社区 that spans both campuses and shares resources to bring students from both campuses together. She also established, and is the President of, the 捆绑SM社区 Global Food Security Club and has served on the Executive of the Macdonald Campus Student Society and the Dietetics and Human Nutrition Undergraduate Society. Oh, and did we mention that she served on the Orientation Committee and was on the Woodsmen team in 2015?

鈥淐hristine stands out as a student who, in addition to maintaining an impressive CGPA in a full-time Major, has taken every opportunity to dedicate her time and energy to helping the less fortunate in the community. Her actions speak to the strength of her character,鈥 says Student Advisor Christine Gurekian.

Christine鈥檚 passion and energy extend into the Greater Montreal community as well.聽 She actively volunteers at the Welcome Hall Mission, the Montreal Children鈥檚 Hospital Emergency Room, the Yellow Door, the Make-A-Wish Foundation (3 wishes granted, 5 in progress) and the Special Olympics Quebec: Lac St. Louis Chapter (she is a Certified Competition Basketball Coach for athletes with intellectual disabilities).

Christine is one of only a handful of Macdonald students who have received both the Gold Key, awarded by the Macdonald Branch of the 捆绑SM社区 Alumni Association, and the Scarlet Key, awarded by the 捆绑SM社区 Alumni Association.

Christine is pictured here receiving her Scarlet Key Award from 捆绑SM社区 Principal Suzanne Fortier.

Well done, Christine! Congratulations!
