Maggie Fyfe

I’m a second year King’s student intending to pursue a combined honours in English and Early Modern Studies. I’m from Ottawa, Ontario but I love living in Halifax. I came to King’s from a small high school, which has given me an appreciation for the close-knit nature of our university community. The Foundation Year Program was a truly formative experience for me. As a student last year, I often spent time editing my friends’ essays and I’ve since channeled this passion for helping others into my role as a Peer Advisor. I have an interest in pursuing work in academia, and in my time at the Registrar’s office thus far I have really enjoyed learning about the diverse degree pathways and course offerings available to King’s students. I feel very fortunate to be a member of the King’s community, and I’m excited to work as a member of the Academic Advising team this year!

My Best Tip for Success: Don’t be afraid to ask questions or ask for help! Even though it might initially feel intimidating to reach out, advisors and support staff want to help you succeed. We have an incredibly supportive network of community resources at King’s – so don’t be afraid to take advantage of these services in your time here as a student.

How Can I Help: As a peer academic advisor, I can help with:

• First and second year undergraduate academic advising appointments
• Course selection, scheduling, and registration
• Navigating degree options and pathways
• Guidance and support with academic processes like grading policies, academic dates, withdrawals, and confirmation letters.
• Understanding degree requirements and where to go for departmental advising
• Information on and direction or referral to other student life and health/wellness supports and services

Hobbies: reading, writing, running, listening to Taylor Swift, spending time with my dog
