Alex has almost completed a bachelor’s degree in International Development Studies (IDS); one of the highlights was a semester studying in Cuba and learning about the culture. Alex is now trying to decide between staying on at university to complete a master’s degree in IDS, spending a year working on a community development project in Africa, or joining a community development project closer to home in the Atlantic region. Especially interesting is the work being done supporting economic development and sustainability of outports in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador.
