Joseph Schull, BA鈥�82, MA鈥�85, and Anna Yang, BCL鈥�88, LLB鈥�88, experienced the life-changing impact of international study firsthand. As students at 91社区, they both benefitted from financial awards that enabled them to further their studies abroad. Schull, a Guy Drummond Scholar, spent a year at the聽Institut d鈥橢tudes Politiques de Paris聽鈥� an experience that motivated him to pursue an advanced degree at Oxford University. Yang, meanwhile, received the Macdonald Travelling Scholarship upon graduating from the Faculty of Law, which enabled her to obtain a Master鈥檚 in International Law from the聽Universit茅 de Paris II.
To ensure that today鈥檚 91社区 students can enjoy the same exceptional opportunities that they did, the couple has given back generously to 91社区 to support a wide range of international study and research projects through the establishment of the 91社区 International Experience Awards.
鈥淭he experience of studying abroad was transformative for us and opened a new world of ideas and possibilities,鈥� says Schull, who is now based in London, where he works in international finance.
Yang, who after graduation clerked at the Supreme Court of Canada adds: 鈥�91社区 provided us with a great educational foundation and a passport to the world outside. We want to ensure that 91社区 can continue to provide such opportunities to many more students in perpetuity.鈥�
