Today's Spotlight

"HADSC Scholarship Spotlight: Melah Mulder My name is Melah Mulder and I am a graduate of St. Thomas of Villanova High School in the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board. I am attending Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. I am enrolled in the History- Dual Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts program. My biggest career aspiration has been to be a professor of History at a university level and impact future generations in any way that I can. My whole life, I have been fascinated with education and history. From doing my own little research projects as a young girl to even working as a tour guide at the Amherstburg Freedom Museum, my passion for history has continued to evolve. Studying history is important to me because it allows us to learn about the past and how so many aspects of humanity develop. History teaches origins of cultures and traditions and also gives us lessons that we can learn from and carry into our day-to-day lives. As an educator, I will pride myself in sharing the reality of what people in the past went through and be able to have that platform in a classroom to educate my students and allow them to think critically and compassionately. I am very proud and excited to be going stateside to pursue my post-secondary education. I have maintained an honour roll status all four years of high school, I have been involved in many extracurricular activities and have attained over 400 hours of community service. I have been involved in my school dance team, theatre program, and Co-President of our school Diaspora Club for Black, African and Caribbean students. Outside of school, I am active in competitive dance outside of school and stay very involved in my church community in various leadership roles. My passion has always been learning about history, being able to learn from it and sharing it with others 🌟Melah Mulder received the 2026 Glendora Watkins Memorial Scholarship of $3000.🌟 🌟Congratulations, Melah Mulder!🌟 #HADSCScholarship #HADSC #UGRR #BlackHistory365 #WECDSB #BlackExcellence #Historian"
