UNB Business Administration Student wins Millennium Scholarship
Elizabeth Anne McCleave, a 2nd year Business Administration student from Rexton, New Brunswick, was awarded a $4,000 Millennium Scholarship. The scholarship is awarded based on recognition of a student’s work in academics and the community.
McCleave volunteers with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets Band Drill Team, and previously had a radio show entitled French Toast while enrolled in Sciences (Math and Kinesiology) at Mount Allison University. The program promoted French culture and was enjoyed by both French and English listeners in Sackville.
One of the reasons that McCleave volunteers is her love of working with children. She says that you can’t choose whose kid you’re going to be and that she likes making a difference in their lives.
Another of McCleave’s great passions is music. She plays the violin, piano, clarinet, and trombone, and also spent the summer as the New Brunswick sales rep for Sony BMG Music Canada.
Working three straight summers with Enterprise Kent, a business development agency that aids small businesses to start up, in their research department she discovered that she loved business and decided to transfer in to the BBA program at UNB Fredericton.
“Best decision I ever made,” said McCleave. She went on to say that what she likes about UNB is that everyone helps her to do her best here and that everyone cares and works together to help you.
She noted that she particularly enjoys the accounting and finance aspects of business and wants to do an MBA degree when she is finished her BBA.
