Natalie Gerum

A 2009 Mount Allson graduate, Natalie Gerum is an exceptional person and student who has already demonstrated her commitment to teaching and learning, and who will make a difference as someone who shows others the way to new  forms of student-centered curricula and delivery.

This geography major wrote an exceptional BA Honours thesis on place-conscious education, and will return to mount Allison in the 2010 winter semester to help teach the course she recommended in her thesis.
