She is one of just 10 students from across the country to receive this prestigious national fellowship in recognition of her outstanding leadership and dedication to her community.
Naomie Seh Abomo, a fourth-year civil engineering student, has been awarded Canada's 2023 3M National Student Fellowship Award.
Seh Abomo is the first Waterloo Engineering student to receive the honour. Awarded by the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STHLE), the fellowship honours students who embrace a vision of education that enhances their academic experience beyond the classroom.
“Much of my academic journey has involved finding the best learning strategies for me, so I’m passionate about making learning accessible to all, and I try to incorporate that in all that I do,” says Seh Abomo. “To be named a fellow, where I’ll connect with nine other like-minded students who feel as passionate about education as I do, is truly an honour.”
As a 3M fellow, Seh Abomo will receive up to $15,000 in funding to complete a project on teaching and learning to be presented at STHLE’s annual conference in June.
