Izabelle Miranda (Peter Gzowski College)

A respected and tireless student leader within the Trent community, Izzy Miranda has been involved in myriad student support initiatives since enrolling at Trent in 2022.

In only three years, Izzy has held more than 10 positions in various clubs and organizations at the university, including with the Anne Shirley Theatre Company, where she has collaborated on six productions. She is actively involved in welcoming new students to campus through orientation events, serving one year as a leader and one year as a facilitator. Mental health advocacy is also important to Izzy, which she has embodied through her work with the Trent Active Minds organization, serving as its social media chair and designing a wide range of posters, stickers, and other items.

Izzy says that being at Trent makes her feel like part of an incredibly close-knit family, which inspires her to consistently take on new responsibilities and endeavours in support of her fellow students. She also successfully manages her many roles while maintaining high academic standards as she works towards a B.A. in Psychology.

“Izzy is kind, passionate, organized, and always willing to do what needs to be done to make any production or event a success,” wrote Izzy’s nominators. “Izzy is a quiet leader—working behind the scenes, always volunteering time, and always showing care and compassion to fellow students in any role that they take on.”
