ÍøÆسԹÏ

ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Education student Adam Hines is this year’s winner of the Annie G. Murray Memorial Scholarship, given by IODE Nova Scotia. Presented on Thursday, November 12, 2015, the $1,000 scholarship started in 1986 after Murray’s death and was awarded to a second-year student at the Nova Scotia Teachers’ College. Since the College closed and Murray attended ÍøÆسԹÏ, it was passed by the Provincial Chapter of Nova Scotia IODE (now known as IODE Nova Scotia) that the scholarship be awarded to a student enrolled in the second-year of the Bachelor of Education program at ÍøÆسԹÏ. Murray was a dedicated teacher, a loyal IODE member and involved in many community activities. She was a graduate of Ladies’ Seminary, Class of 1911, and was Valedictorian for her graduating class. Pictured at the presentation ceremony luncheon at the Wu Welcome Centre at Alumni Hall, ÍøÆسԹÏ, are: Barbara Rodney, Communications Officer for IODE Nova Scotia; Mary Louise Killam, Chair of IODE Nova Scotia; Adam Hines; IODE members Harriet McWhirter and Charlene Greenfield; Dr. Ann Vibert, Director of the School of Education. Also present for the proceedings were ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï staff Nancy Handrigan (’92), Executive Director of Philanthropy, and Judy Noel-Walsh (’87), Manager of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
