Sauve Scholar

A quick note of congratulations to Janet Jobson (BYM ‘05) who has been selected as one of a dozen Sauvé Scholars for 2009/10. She will be spending a year in Montreal, Canada, as part of the program.

Sauvé Scholars are allowed to audit courses at the internationally renowned McGill University while enjoying an enriching private program of seminars with eminent journalists, political figures and leaders in business, academia and the arts.

Each Scholar is also expected to undertake a new project in his or her chosen field – for example, arts, advocacy, business, communications, government or research – or complete one that is underway. Scholars are also invited to participate in some form of social or civic engagement for the benefit of the Montreal community.

Janet is currently at Oxford University, England. Congratulations Janet!
