NOTE OF THANKS FROM TAYLOR BAGLOLE

During the awards ceremony mentioned above, Taylor Baglole was recognized for receiving the Faculty of Education Alicia Gallant Award.  The Faculty received the following note from Taylor:

“Dear Dr. MacDonald and the Faculty of Education,

Thank you for the Alicia Gallant Award.  I am grateful that I have been selected as the recipient.

I am currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Education Program at UPEI.  I am from Kinkora, Prince Edward Island and completed my undergrad at St. Thomas University with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Psychology and Gerontology.  After graduating from the Bachelor of Education Program, I plan on completing my Masters in School Psychology to become a School Psychologist.

Thank you again for this help with my education.  I appreciate the kindness and generosity of this award.

Sincerely,

Taylor Baglole”
