Malik Dahel from John Abbott College has been named a 2021 Loran Scholar. This year, the Loran Scholars Foundation selected 30 exceptional young Canadians from a pool of 6,084 applicants who demonstrate a firm commitment to character, service and leadership potential; breadth in academic and extra-curricular interests; integrity; and a high level of personal autonomy.
In a time of immense change and challenge, the newly selected scholars have shown grit and resilience, finding ways to make the most of these extraordinary circumstances and meaningfully serve their communities.
A Pierrefonds resident, Dahel is very involved presiding over the Pierrefonds-Roxboro Youth Council for almost three years now, volunteering with the West Island Association for the Intellectually Handicapped (WIAIH), and much more.
