Philip White
Philip White attends the University of Western Ontario and has just completed his second year in the Finance & Administration program. He is also pursuing a Certificate in Business French in conjunction with the French Chamber of Commerce.

While on campus, Philip is involved in numerous extra-curricular activities. During the past school year, he held the position of Secretary on the Black Students' Association. He also filled the duties of Vice-President of Finance for the Saugeen-Maitland Hall Residents' Students' Council.

Philip also acts as captain for his intramural basketball team, regularly attends church and participates in a bible study group.

After entertaining the idea of professions in accounting, marketing, ambassadorship, or a position in the clergy, Philip has made a conscious effort not to specialize or focus his education and experiences in one specific area. In this way, he can be sure that his skills will be adaptable to numerous fields when he enters the job market on a full-time basis.

Hydro One congratulates Shevonne and Philip on their achievements and wishes them both well in their future endeavours.
