    “Not only was Kristina a top student who seemed to be involved with nearly every extracurricular activity, but somehow she found time to lead a large fundraising project. I first met her during the 3rd or 4th year in which she had organized 5 days for the homeless, a massive nationwide charity event focused on raising money for the homeless. What really impressed me is the was she stuck with it after graduating and remained involved in it to grow it to the point where Concordia raised nearly 40K$. Now she's helping to make the movement multinational and spreading the event out of Canada to the US. She is truly an inspiration to everyone who knows her and I genuinely feel like I'm a better person for having her example to follow.”
