Linden Alumna Accepts Assistant Professorship at Stanford - April 14, 2010
Alison McQueen (Linden '99) has accepted a position at Stanford University for September 2011 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science.
Alison recently finished her PhD in Government (political theory and international relations) at Cornell University. She also holds a Master's in Political Science from the University of Toronto, and a Bachelor's degree in International Development from the University of Guelph.
Alison is excited to be starting this new phase of her life, and to be living in Palo Alto, CA - although she is wary of the possibility of earthquakes.
Congratulations, Alison!
Watch a Linden Alumna Speak at her Graduation - September 10, 2010
Linden's graduation ceremony, which takes place at our annual Celebration to Greet the Summer, is unique in many ways. One of its most notable features is that we do not have a single valedictorian representing the voice of the class. Instead, just as each girl speaks in front of the community on her first day at Linden, each graduate gets the opportunity to use her voice by making a valdedictory address.
Watch the video below to see Emma, class of 2010, addressing students, teachers, family and friends at our Celebration to Greet the Summer:

On Thursday, November 20, Thandiwe Vela
(Linden '05) added a $1,000 scholarship from the Canadian
Association of Black Journalists (CABJ) to her already impressive
roster of accomplishments.
CABJ is a national organization of African-Canadian
journalists who work in broadcasting, publication and media,
and who are committed to bringing greater diversity to Canadian
newsrooms through mentorship, advocacy and education, especially
for African-Canadian youth. The association presented the
award to Thandiwe in recognition of her commitment to journalism,
demonstrated by her studies in the journalism program offered
jointly by the University of Toronto and Centennial College.
Thandiwe's dedication to her chosen career
path extends beyond the classroom - she was recently invited
by the Dean of her program to be one of two students on the
steering committee for all U of T and Centennial joint programs,
and she works part-time in the Toronto Star's newsroom. She
is also an elite athlete, competing at the varsity level for
U of T's track and field program.
Congratulations Thandiwe, and we wish you
continued success!
