Introducing student leader Andrew Butti

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 Andrew Butti, a fourth-year Bachelor of Science, honours Biology student and Dave Marshall Leadership Award winner in the academic category.

Butti is an outstanding student. He has held the Nipissing University President’s Scholarship in each year of his undergraduate studies, with a 95 percent overall GPA.

He balances studying, researching, and coordinating events for his fellow students through his roles as volunteer tutor, laboratory teaching assistant, Professional Internship Program Participant, and President of the Biology Society.

Butti arranged a Thesis Night to allow students to learn about developing an honours thesis from faculty and peers. He also set up a partnership with Princeton Review to hold a practice Medical Schools Admission Test in order to help prepare students for the test.

Butti is a highly intelligent, mature, and generous individual. He has a bright future and will bring great credit to Nipissing.

The Dave Marshall Leadership Award recognizes full-time students who have made an outstanding extra-curricular contribution to their academic program, to the campus, or to the greater community. Academic recipients are selected in recognition of their significant contributions as leaders in their area of study.
