I met Dr. Abuelaish when I was in 1st year of my undergrad where I was given the opportunity to discuss with him the foundation’s goals. DFL’s mission of supporting young equity-seeking women encouraged me to start a chapter here at Queen’s. Since then, we’ve been working hard towards this mission with a group of highly enthusiastic, self-driven team-mates. I am very excited to be part of this club again this year. Fun fact about me: I enjoy travelling/exploring new places, learning about different cultures, and meeting people from all around the globe

Meet Our 2020-2021 Exec Team Hi everyone! My name is Liesel, and I’m a 4th year Art History major, with a minor in World Languages. Fun fact about me: I am a (very amateur) musician I play harp and piano! I’m one of the co-chairs of DFL: Queen’s Chapter this year, and I’m so excited to be supporting the work of this organization! I think that Daughters for Life’s mission of supporting women to be leaders in their community is really admirable. Scholarships are a key way to uplift the voices and actions of people whose talents and perspectives are sorely needed, and might otherwise risk being lost. I am fortunate to have received some support myself (not from DFL), so I’m really happy to work to pay it forward through my involvement here.
