Local pharmacy student named to Top 30 Under 30
MEDICINE HAT, AB — A student at the University of Alberta with Medicine Hat connections has been named one of the Top 30 Under 30 in the province.
Nicola Gale, a fourth-year pharmacy student, was selected to appear in the Alberta Council for Global Cooperation’s Top 30 Under 30 magazine for 2017, which showcases the work of 30 young people engaged in projects in the province and around the world which build international cooperation and community development.
“It’s a really awesome opportunity,” said Gale, 26, over the phone from Edmonton. “There’s some people who have done some amazing things in the last few years, so it’s definitely humbling being named next to them.”
The Crescent Heights High School graduate is a co-president of the Students Invested in Health Association (SIHA) at the university. SIHA is a student-run organization which promotes community engagement and health. On campus, members have run projects about HIV awareness, sexually transmitted infections and mental health awareness, and have also taken the programs to Edmonton area schools.
