Kaelem Moniz graduated from Trinity College in June with a double major in international relations and public policy. He has been named a 2026 University of Toronto Alumni Association Scholar, an award for graduating students with outstanding academic achievement and exceptional commitment to community leadership.
At Trinity he chaired the College Meeting, sat as a student member of the Board of Trustees and served as co-head of college. Since November 2025 he has been national commissioner of Scouts Canada, the youngest person to hold that volunteer position, and he created a podcast series, Profiles in Canada, with nearly 30 interviews.
He also works part-time as a research assistant at the Munk School’s Global Indigenous Rights and Policy Lab. Moniz now begins law school at U of T and hopes fellow graduates leave Trinity with a commitment to public service.
