There are a few questions that I keep hearing during my time at UWaterloo, “How is __ going to help you in the future?” and “What are you involved with on campus?” I have received these questions from various people.
My name is Mandy Bujold and I am currently a second year student at the University of Waterloo, working towards my undergrad in Liberal Studies.
They always say that we, as people, should always look for meaningful ways to give back, contribute to things that have provided us with the opportunities to where we are today, and create a stronger sense of community among like-minded people.
As a previous student at the University of Waterloo, I have had many opportunities to open up and get involved as a student leader.
My name is Luane Lentz. I am Cree from Northern Ontario. I am also the Waterloo Aboriginal Education Centre (WAEC) Coordinator.
My name is Wil Schmor, and I am in my second year at UWaterloo, studying Global Business and Digital Arts.
As both an alumnus and employee of UWaterloo, I have strong ties to this university and give back in a variety of ways.
