The scholarships Pellerin has received have also been a huge help with the stress of school. Working in textiles was important to me after my father’s death. “I find textiles so different than drawing painting… it’s a nice stress relief. While the demands of third year can certainly be overwhelming, Pellerin also finds the work itself can help them cope with the pressure. “I feel like everyone in textiles, everyone in illustration, everyone’s really good at coming together to support one another.” “It doesn’t feel like school, it feels like family in a way.” says Pellerin. When Pellerin lost their father last year it was the community at NSCAD that helped them cope, with teachers like David Armstrong offered them the support they needed. The personal relationships students can form with teachers have also been vital to Pellerin’s time here. “NSCAD lends itself to be able to be modified into a second home,” says Pellerin, a quality which they say can help students strike a work-study balance. University students can end up spending the majority of their time at school, so for Pellerin NSCAD’s homey feel is a big plus.
We will provide interpretation services for anyone that needs them.Fern Pellerin is the recipient of the Walker Wood Foundation Undergraduate Award and the Allan Clark Fleming Memorial Scholarship. We would like for every participant to attend at least one, but they can attend as many as they want to attend.
#Steward connect series#
People can RSVP with tentative to the series and then change individual RSVPs for each Saturday. We will hold a monthly Introduction/Orientation the second Saturday of each month from April to July from 10:30 to Noon. The invite for this event is a series invite. Even if you change partnerships, you are welcome to stay in touch with your past partner if that is something you both agree to. You get to decide how your relationship with your mentor/mentee progresses. Additionally, we understand that individual needs change and growth occurs, so mentor/mentee partnerships are not fixed or permanent. With the flexible nature of this program, participants can increase or decrease their level of participation at any time. Some participants just want to receive the informational emails and newsletters that we will be sending out. If you just want to be able to reach out to the Contract Specialist team from time to time with questions, we welcome that level of participation, too. If you aren’t sure if being a mentor or a mentee is right for you at this time, you can simply join our monthly workshops and participate in the collobarative discussions around specific topics. You can be a mentee and gain additional knowledge from a more experienced Steward. You can be a mentor and share your experience and skills with other Stewards.
The program is very flexible so that we can be respectful of the voluntary time commitments that our member leaders have shared with us. Stewards can join SMDP at any time and tailor their level of participation in the program to their individual needs at any given time.
