Poli sci grad on experience in Canada's North


Alison Smith (‘08) spent the past year participating in one of the most competitive and prestigious internship programs in Canada, the Parliamentary Internship Programme (PIP). As part of the 10-month internship on Parliament Hill, Alison had the opportunity to travel to the Arctic for a study tour with nine other participants, spending a week in Nunavut where they met with legislators, public servants, and civil-society organizations.

The PIP interns, including Alison, share their experience in The Globe and Mail.

Alison precedes three Mount Allison 2010 graduates who will begin PIP in September: Hanna Button (international relations), Fraser Harland (political science), and Stephen Middleton (biology).
