Reunion: self-exposure

Friday, September 30, 2016 by Jordan Levitin (BES '81)

We dash through life, our eyes fixed intently on a busy present and the promises of the future. Days of sameness and moments of revelation stream by until we hit a milestone. A transitional birthday, the death of a loved one, an invitation to a class reunion might make us stop, take a deep breath and glance back over our shoulders to take stock of our journey.

I chose the University of Waterloo for my undergrad because it had one of the only co-op programs in Political Science and because it had a program, at the time called Applied Studies, which allowed me to explore my interests in a variety of subjects, while taking less courses in my major. I particularly enjoyed courses that allowed me to learn about other cultures. After graduating in 2001, I spent about five weeks traveling around Western Europe.
