Gita Anand ('82) is one of Canada’s leading employment and labour lawyers. She has stayed connected to her alma mater, recognizing the role Mount Allison played in getting her started in life and wanting to help others have a similar experience.
“Mount A gave me a platform to do whatever I wanted to do. When I was graduating from Mount A and thinking about my future, I found I had lots of choices and could get into whichever programs I applied to. I think that really showed the strength of Mount Allison.”
She chairs the executive committee of Mount Allison’s Board of Regents, the University’s governing body, and is also co-chair of the Grace Annie Lockhart Sesquicentennial Celebrations.
Anand encourages others to consider volunteering with the University, whether it be as a mentor to students, helping with recruitment, supporting athletics teams, or participating in governance.
