Meet student leader Andrea Blewitt

Nipissing students consistently impress as leaders, in the classroom, on campus and in the community. Recently the university celebrated 25 student leaders at the annual Dave Marshall Leadership Awards.  Over the coming months, NU News will introduce each student leader to the wider community with a short article discussing their accomplishments and activities. Today, we are pleased profile Concurrent Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education student Andrea Blewitt.

Blewitt is an active contributor to the Nipissing University Brantford campus community and has led a number of initiatives with her colleagues and peers. She was a member of the Brantford campus mentorship program and was able to collaborate and co-teach throughout that experience in practicum schools.

Andrea was a part of the international teaching opportunity, and traveled to Italy for her alternative practicum placement in 2015, with a group of other teacher candidates and faculty facilitators.  She represented Nipissing while learning and growing her teaching styles and cultural knowledge in a new environment.  After completion of her international practicum, she shared her experience with students interested in teaching internationally who wanted to learn about techniques for teaching English abroad.

Blewitt is a natural leader and is insightful in her approach to both academic and community initiatives. She is highly respected by administrators and students and will be an effective educator.

The university community is proud to recognize Andrea Blewitt with a Dave Marshall Leadership Award in the Academic Category.
