Fall River, Nova Scotia’s Laura Clerk entered Acadia’s biology program in September 2016, where she hopes to gain research experience leading to a career in medical sciences, or perhaps as a veterinarian, reflecting her love for animals. Laura graduated from Lockview High School in June 2016, where she was a member of the student council and a volunteer peer math tutor. A competitive dancer, she combines her creativity with a commitment to academics that have placed her on the Principal’s List throughout high school with the highest average among all students in her Grade 11 year. Laura is excited to continue to give back to the community during her time at Acadia.
