Congratulations to Cassidy Robertson, who was awarded the Board of Trustees Spirit of Brock medal in recognition of her leadership and dedication to showcasing student research and building community. Robertson received this award during Brock’s 115th Convocation, where she also graduated with a master’s degree in Classics in the Art and Archaeology stream.
Anne McCourt, of Brock’s Board of Trustees, presents Colin Spencer and Cassidy Robertson each with the Spirit of Brock medal during Brock University’s 117th Convocation on Wednesday, June 11.
According to the Brock News,
“Robertson was drawn to Brock for graduate studies because of its unique history with underwater archaeology through the work of Professor of Classics and Archaeology Elizabeth Greene.
Robertson was a key member of the student team organizing the second annual Humanities Graduate Student Symposium held in February 2024 and strengthened her leadership skills as Lead Co-ordinator for this year’s successful event.
“I wanted to showcase the importance and significance of humanities research, motivated by my love for my field and interest in interdisciplinary collaboration,” she said.
Robertson urged future graduate students to take every opportunity that comes their way.
“Get involved; participating will help you market yourself in the future,” she said. “Focus on how your degree can help you grow skills and connections while building a great community.”
