Andrew Boyle

Prize for Excellence as a Community Engaged Scholar

This prize recognizes a student who has completed one or more service learning experiences and has demonstrated a personal commitment to community development.

This year’s 2020-2021 recipient of the Community Engaged Scholar is Andrew Boyle. Andrew lives in Afton, Nova Scotia. Graduated in May 2021 with BScHKIN.

Andrew has been actively involved in the community throughout his time at StFX. Andrew did placements with various community agencies including, StFX MAX Program; Antigonish Challenger Baseball Association; Antigonish Atom AA Bulldogs and with Antigonish Para Sledge Hockey.

Andrew had this to say about his experience with Service Learning: “During my past 3.5 years attending StFX, I have been able to become involved with several different organizations within the town that have made a significant positive impact on my undergrad experience.

Being involved in this amazing community has also gifted me in being recognized nationally by Hockey Canada, as the Hockey Canada Champion, for community involvement and leadership this year.

Having the opportunities to work within Antigonish and meet so many great kids, parents, and friends, is one that I will never take for granted and the lessons I’ve learned, experiences I’ve had, and memories made will be ones that I continue to share. Antigonish is a top-notch community, where inclusion of all abilities is of upmost importance, accessibility is available and community members care about one another.”
