The Mosaic Institute\u2019s Muldoon-Mosaic Bursary<\/a> was awarded to Faculty of Liberal Arts and\u00a0 Professional Studies student Michelle Tracey N.O.

A gala event set the stage for the award presentation by Reeta Roy, the CEO and president of the Mastercard Foundation. The foundation has committed more than US$2.1 billion to advance education and financial inclusion in Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Muldoon-Mosaic Bursary was inspired by my husband, Jim Muldoon, and his belief that we need the energy, creativity and passion of young people in order to make the world a better place,\u201d says Roy. \u201cThis bursary is intended to remove social and financial barriers that too often limit personal achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the bursary application, applicants wrote an essay answering the question \u201chow can I contribute to creating a world where we respect and cherish our differences?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis award is encouragement for me to continue advocating to dismantle prejudice and prejudgment and to show people how our differences can shape individual and collective prosperity,\u201d says Cobblah. \u201cAlso, the award will help alleviate financial burden.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her award-winning essay, she adds, focused on how \u201cthe power of difference underscores the uniqueness of personalities.\u201d Cobblah argued that \u201cfor peaceful co-existence, difference should be cherished and respected, and if each individual is an ambassador for this, peace will be achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n

The award is in honour of the late James P. Muldoon Jr., a former vice-Chair of the Board of the\u00a0Mosaic Institute<\/a> who was committed to dismantling prejudice and prejudgment and creating a world where differences are the source of individual and collective prosperity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted that our student was honoured with the Muldoon-Mosiac Bursary,\u201d says Ananya Mukherjee-Reed, Dean of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies. \u201cMichelle articulates a view of difference that is at once poignant and immensely powerful. We strive to nurture such voices and deeply appreciate those who support us in this endeavour.\u201d<\/p>\n
