Ben Smith – Playing it Forward
In this heartwarming episode of Cape Breton Accents, President Dingwall sits down with Ben Smith, a two-time CBU Alumnus and last year’s valedictorian. Raised in Curaçao and now finishing his second degree at CBU, Ben shares how music, community and mentorship have shaped his experience both inside and outside the classroom.
From his decision to move to Cape Breton, to the deep impact of his professors and the sense of belonding he found through CBU’s BACS program, Ben’s story is one of passion, growth and connection. And just when you think it can’t get any more Cape Breton, he takes out his fiddle to play what he believes CBU sounds like.
Whether you're a future student, a proud alumni or a fan of great stories, this episode is not to be missed.
