Meet with Wilton

Hello! I’m Wilton!

I was born and raised on the beautiful Island of Aruba. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Psychology. I first heard about Bishop’s at a University fair back when I was in High School, and I absolutely fell in love with the campus, and the small community feel. Bishop’s was the perfect fit since I was looking to be a name in a classroom and not just a number while also building strong and meaningful relationships with my classmates and professors.

As an International Student moving to a new country, starting a new school, and making new friends was not easy. Nevertheless, I am happy I chose Bishop’s since I had all the support needed to succeed. I also had the opportunity to give back to our community while working as a student ambassador and the International Students Representative. I am forever grateful for the amazing opportunities I got while being a Bishop’s Student, and I now look forward to helping other students have similar experiences.

Meet with Eric

Hello! I’m Eric…

I was originally born in Oakville, ON, but moved to Massachusetts when I was very young and grew up in a town named Shrewsbury – just outside of Worcester. I recently graduated from Bishop’s with a Bachelor of Arts in sociology, with a double concentration in criminology, law, & social policy as well as gender, diversity, & equity studies, and a minor in religion. They say home is where the heart is, and Bishop’s has become just that to me, home. When I first arrived on campus from the United States, I was so nervous but was quickly embraced by the warm and caring community that we have here.

Now I look back on my years at Bishop’s as some of the best of my life, so much so that I decided I didn’t want to leave – once a Gaiter, always a Gaiter! During my time here, I’ve had the ability to operate in a myriad of roles and immerse myself in the close-knit culture that we offer. I’ve assisted in organizing orientation week, worked as a teaching assistant for multiple professors, and spent time advocating on behalf of students on the Students’ Representative Council. The lifelong friends I met, the education I received, and the experiences I had while attending Bishop’s helped me grow into the person that I am today. I am eager to show you why choosing Bishop’s will leave you saying, there’s no place like home!

Hello! I’m Shelby…

I’m a recent BU graduate with a BSc in Neuroscience and a Minor in Biology. I love the sciences and Bishop’s offered the program I was searching for and passionate about. I knew about Bishop’s when I was attending Champlain College, but after graduating in Commerce, I left to go to university in another province but after a year, I knew I wanted to come back to the campus I knew and loved.

I was born and raised near Stratford, ON and moved to the coast of Gaspesie to finish high school. I’ve always lived in small towns, but after I moved to college, I fell in love with Sherbrooke and consider this my home. I’ve been here for approximately 6 years. The Eastern Townships have lots of unique things to offer, and the big city isn’t far away either. University can feel overwhelming and stressful but thanks to Bishop’s tight-knit community and beautiful, cozy campus, it makes the transition easy and helped me feel at home. Bishop’s allows students to build significant relationships with professors, make lasting friendships, and take advantage of amazing academic and non-academic opportunities. Small classrooms mean people get to know you by name, and making an impact isn’t difficult. I was able to work for some professors throughout my years at Bishop’s, and get summer jobs as well, even though my first language isn’t French. Bishop’s provided me several years of great experiences and now I get to experience even more as part of Bishop’s Recruitment team. I hope to help students find their path here too.

Hello! I’m Annabelle…

Welcome to the start of your Bishop’s journey! I remember wanting to find a university that would give me a world of endless opportunities, all while getting the chance to be a part of a tight-knit community. I have no doubts that Bishop’s is the perfect place to find this environment, just as I did when I first stepped on campus all those years ago.

I knew about Bishop’s long before I was old enough to be a student myself. Both of my parents are Bishop’s alums, and my family has been coming to the Eastern Townships for many winters to make the most of the ski season. There are some great mountains here!

Initially, I was set on not going to the same school as my parents. Despite these feelings, I loved the campus environment and kept Bishop’s in the back of my mind. In my final year of high school, I toured Bishop’s one last time and realized that at BU, I would be treated as a person, and not a number in an academic system. There was a sense of belonging and individuality here that I had not felt at any other school.

In my time at BU, I embraced many jobs on campus such as Photographer, Student Ambassador, Student Council Representative. I attended a week-long arts excursion in New York City, received an internship at The Textile Museum in Toronto, and coordinated a Theatre festival on campus. The adventures you go on at Bishop’s are endless, and when you graduate, you’ll still feel like you’ve just scratched the surface. To my joy, my Bishop’s journey continues even though I have closed my chapter as a student. My next adventure is finding you future Gaiters, and I cannot wait to introduce you to this amazing university.

Meet with Mark-Antoine

Hello! I’m Mark-Antoine…

I graduated From Bishop’s University in June of 2024 with a BA in English: Film and Media Studies. I am from a town called Victoriaville in the province of Quebec. I studied graphic design in Cégep for two years but did not finish. I then went on to complete a two-year diploma in car mechanics while I figured out what I really wanted to do. In my research, having always been fascinated by cinema, I saw that Bishop’s was offering a film program and I applied as a mature student. The people there answered fast, they were welcoming, and they were easy to reach, so I really knew I made the right choice.

I never thought I would be up to the task of completing university, but I quickly found my place at Bishop’s being in a program I loved. I even enjoyed doing a lot of my final projects. With the amazing teachers, the fantastic staff and the warm sense of community here, it is hard not to make friends: you are never alone. There are so many things you can do outside of your program as our school offers liberal education. I took a biology class, I played in a band for a semester and I even learned some Japanese. I was also invited to participate in a documentary film project in cooperation with the psychology program. There are so many events you can go to such as concerts, receptions or conferences given by incredible people and so much more.

I may have graduated, but I was not ready to leave just yet, so I had to take this opportunity to give back and offer this unique experience to other people. Once you come to Bishop’s, it never leaves you and I am eager to see your beautiful faces here. You will not regret it.

Meet with Justin

Hello! I’m Justin…

I was born and raised in a small town in the Eastern Townships. From an early age, I had a dream, and I knew that if I wanted even a slight chance of making it come true, I needed to be bilingual. This motivated me to take a leap of faith and attend an English Cégep. After two years at Champlain Regional College, my English had not only improved, but I had also fallen in love with the beautiful Bishop’s campus. That is how my Bishop’s journey began. What started as a simple major in History & Global Studies evolved into an Honours degree in History & Global Studies, with a minor in Arts Administration and two micro-certificates in Canadian Studies and Archives. All thanks to the flexibility of the liberal education model at Bishop’s.

Looking back at my time at Bishop’s, I had so much fun (I mean, I added an extra year and a half to my degree for a reason!). I was able to complete a semester abroad at the University of Worcester in England, served as the president of the Bishop’s University History Association, and participated in many other clubs. And if that wasn’t already enough, I made countless friends and connections along the way.

Remember that old dream I mentioned? I made it come true, thanks to what I learned at Bishop’s. Now, I cannot wait to show you how choosing Bishop’s could help you realize your own dreams! Le français est ta langue maternelle et tu hésites à te lancer? Fais-toi confiance et suis tes rêves; tout le monde à Bishop’s est prêt à t’aider et à t’encourager!

Meet with Chloé

Hello! I’m Chloé…

I’m originally from Magog, a small city near Sherbrooke in Quebec. I recently graduated from Bishop’s with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. I’ve had Bishop’s in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on campus— I was a little Panda myself at the Daycare on campus, and I’ve been attending Gaiters basketball and football games since I was born!

When I started studying at Bishop’s, I didn’t know exactly where I was headed—but that changed quickly. I found a tight-knit community, formed lifelong friendships, and got involved in ways that helped me grow both personally and professionally. I served on the Student Representative Council, worked as a Teaching Assistant and Peer Academic Mentor, modeled in the Fashion Show, played intramurals, and even went on exchange to Australia. Bishop’s gave me the freedom to explore, the support to thrive, and the space to become who I am today. Bishop’s isn’t just a school—it’s a home. I’m so grateful for everything this university has given me, and I can’t wait to help others find their place here too. It’s time to spread the purple!

Meet with Joad

Hello! I’m Joad!

I recently graduated from Bishop’s University with a major in Sports Studies and a minor in Computer Science. I grew up in Lennoxville and have been connected to the Bishop’s community from a young age, it’s where I learned to swim, play basketball, and developed a real sense of belonging.

Choosing to study here was a natural decision, not just because of my roots, but because of the strong sense of community, the supportive environment, and the opportunity to pursue both my academic and personal interests. During my time as a student, I explored my passion for sports, dove into the world of tech, and built lasting friendships.

Now, as a student recruiter, I’m excited to share that experience with others and help future students discover everything Bishop’s has to offer. Whether you’re from near or far, I’m here to help you feel welcome and confident in your university journey.

Hello! I’m Kelly…

I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing. I am originally from the South Shore of Montreal, but I now consider Sherbrooke to be my home. When I came to Bishop’s in 2016, I never imagined myself staying after graduation but throughout my time here I fell in love with the community that both Bishop’s and the Eastern Townships have to offer. While I was in high school and CEGEP I had never heard of Bishop’s University before, that is until I met a recruiter at a university fair. From that day I knew Bishop’s was the right place for me and I have never been happier with my decision to study here.

Hello! I’m Alexandra…

I like to call myself a local. Though I was raised nearby, I have spent more than half of my life in Sherbrooke, and I love promoting my town and the Eastern Townships. This region has so much to offer, and I hope you will find it as enchanting as I do!

Enrolling at Bishop’s University was not initially part of my plans. When circumstances led me to take a semester off from my previous university, my family suggested I attend Bishop’s temporarily to improve my English skills. Plus, why not also learn Japanese, a language I had always wanted to explore? I registered for a certificate. Fast forward nine years, and with a B.A. in Modern Languages and a Master of Education in hand, it seems the magic of this place has made it difficult for me to leave.

During my time here and in Japan (where I spent two semesters studying abroad), I forged unique connections with friends, colleagues, staff, and teachers, which I hold dear. I cannot imagine being anywhere else.

The Bishop’s song does say, “We will never graduate.” I am pleased that I can continue my Bishop’s adventure as the Recruitment Office Coordinator, spreading a bit of the purple spark to other marvelous individuals.

Hello! I’m Lyssa…

While my family roots are in the Eastern Townships region, I grew up in London, Ontario and I graduated from BU with a double major in Political Studies and International Studies with a minor in French Language Studies. Bishop’s was perfect for me, not only on a social level, but in terms of academics as well. I learn best with a personalized teaching approach, and this is exactly what Bishop’s provided. I would not change my Bishop’s experience one bit.

I am the Manager of Student Recruitment and Retention, but I also work as a Municipal Councillor. I love living and working in the Eastern Townships as it allows me to have easy access to outdoor activities that I love and to be able to speak daily in both French and English.
