THANK YOU GIFT 2015-2016
INTRODUCTION
o say that being a Sutton award recipient is life changing, would be a gross
understatement. While designing and compiling the entries for Suttons Sweet
Treats, I have delighted in getting to know my peers better, but also in remarking how our gratitude for you, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton, and your seemingly endless generosity, is strikingly universal between us.
I hope that this book captures each of our own idiosyncratic personalities, our individual ambitions, and brings you a little bit closer to each one of us. Most importantly,
however, I can only hope that we eectively convey just how much we appreciate your
devotion to our education, success, and wholesome Queens experience.
Thank you so much, truly.
Bon Appetit!

riting this as a student who has ocially completed their rst year, I have come to see how the
Sutton Award has been instrumental in leading
me to where I am today.. If it were not for the Sutton family, all the experiences I have gained as a rst year Smith
student may have not materialized. Queens in itself is an
incredible institution, and the Smith School of Business
has provided me with an unparalleled education and professional skills. My time here has helped me to develop as
a professional, and as a person. Within my rst year, I have
already gained countless experiences that have equipped
me to realize my passions and my values.
This year I was honoured to have worked with Queens Soul
Food and the Queens Non-Prot outreach team. Both have
brought to my attention the signicance of non-prots and
their abilities to make a dierence. One crucial insight I
gained about myself was how strongly I felt about taking
the business concepts learned in the class and applying
them in a meaningful way to help our communities. Although in the future, I may not necessarily choose to work
for a non-prot, I still believe in taking this CSR perspective and applying it in a way that matters, in a way that is
bigger than ourselves.
