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 Gillian McCaskill a second-year Bachelor of Business Administration - Marketing student and Dave Marshall Leadership Award winner in the academic category.
