Ella is currently the Vice President of UR POLIS, she has previously served as Secretary (2023/2024) and Member at Large (2022/2023).
Along with her PPE studies, she is also pursuing a certificate in Nonprofit Sector Leadership and Innovation (NSLI). One of her NSLI courses is an internship with Regina Food for Learning, an organization that provides breakfast and lunches to students in school. She believes the NSLI courses are highly rewarding due to Luther’s partnerships with local organizations.
Ella loves how interconnected her PPE courses are, each concentration complimenting the others while analytically observing complex current issues. She recently returned from a study abroad in Germany and strongly encourages others to consider it if they have the opportunity. Her favourite course is PPE 400, taught by Rev. Dr. Marc Jerry. Despite being a 3-hour course at the end of the week, she always looked forward to “411: Economics in the News” at the beginning of each class.
Madge Lake is where you will find Ella if she is not on campus, where her free time is typically spent with family or close friends. She is passionate about disability advocacy as she is one of the support persons for her younger sister with Down Syndrome. Also, she spends time volunteering for the Saskatchewan Professional Fire Fighter’s Burn Fund as her father is an active firefighter in Regina.
Her advice for PAIS students comes from a personal reflection: “Get to know your professors, not only does it make class more interesting, it will also help your academic performance. If there is a problem, tell them. They cannot support you if they do not know something is wrong. Our professors are often more compassionate than we realize.”
Ella’s favourite UR POLIS events are Meet Your Representatives and the Grad School Panel. She saw students make the most of the opportunities such as networking, engaging with the department, and scoping out future plans.
