Abstract

Belma Kamencic and Tuan Mihn Mai are this year’s recipients of the 2015 University Medal. Kamencic received the University Medal at Convocatin June 4, for having achieved academic excellence with the highest GPA on campus this past year. “I was just sitting looking at my email,” says Belma. “The first time I read that I got the medal, I was in disbelief.” Kamencic credits her early university success to hard work, the support of her family, and good study methods. Her parents, Edita and Huse, are extremely proud of their oldest daughter. Kamencic sees her parents as role models on her path to one day becoming a future medical professional. The Kamencics, originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina, moved to Saskatoon and then Regina. Their hard work and determination paid off when Edita and Huse passed their respective Canadian qualifying exams to practice medicine in Canada.
