A STFX student and Antigonish native is one of 10 students from across the country to receive the 3M National Student Fellowship Award.
Ben Boudreau is graduating from the Human Kinetics and Sports Management program this year.
The award honours students who demonstrate outstanding leadership in their lives and at school.
STFX faculty member Dr. Angie Kolen nominated Boudreau for the award.
She used many words to describe Boudreau; “Volunteer. Academic. Entrepreneur. Coach. Generous. Kind. Thoughtful. Energetic. Inclusive. Leader. Innovator. These words describe Ben Boudreau and are the reasons I nominated him for a 3M National Student Fellowship,” she says.
He is also the founder and creator of “X-ring boxes,” a keepsake box to hold and protect the STFX grad ring.
During this past year, he used profits from his X-ring boxes to create a ‘pay it forward’ bursary to purchase an X-ring for an anonymous fellow classmate, recognizing the financial barriers faced by classmates.
Boudreau will continue his post-graduate studies at Dalhousie University.
