Monica Baccardax
IT Project Manager, MedIT, Faculty of Medicine
How long have you been involved in Dalhousie’s United Way campaign and in what capacity?
Eight years as Dalhousie University Employee Campaign Recruitment and Training. Years ago I was the Faculty of Medicine’s Area Coordinator.
Why is supporting the United Way important to you?
In some small way, to be a part of the impact that United Way has on the health and well-being of the people in the Halifax communities. Their past support has helped me during my time of need and now I want to give back to the community so others may get the support they need during their challenging time and know there are people who care.
Why is it important for Dalhousie to support the United Way?
Dalhousie University values their relationship with their neighbours and strive to enhance the community around them. I believe they can provide a stronger voice for the importance of serving our neighbours in need.
What are you most looking forward to during this year’s campaign?
Working together with my fellow colleagues who are passionate about helping their communities.
What’s the one thing you wished everyone knew about the United Way?
United Way leads with compassion and provides the tools to helps people to work willingly together for the betterment of themselves and their community. They help people to help themselves so they can lead better lives for themselves and others.
Congratulations Monica your parents would be very proud of you!
