Alexandra Stewart, First-year Law & Arts student Majoring in History

Alexandra Stewart is a first-year undergraduate pursuing a dual degree in the Law and Arts program with a major in history. As the daughter of Trent Alumni from the graduating class of 1983, Alexandra shares her mother’s lifelong passion for history and the pursuit of higher education. This year, Alexandra is a recipient of Trent’s History Award which is presented to accomplished students wishing to further their knowledge in both Canadian and world history.

Leaving high school with an academic average of over 90%, Alexandra is eager to apply the same drive and dedication to her studies at Trent University as she looks ahead in her academic career with optimism.
