Environment, Resources and Sustainability Top Academic Achiever
“Incredibly bright and a gifted, emerging scholar” is how her professors describe Sara Ganowski, the Environment, Resource and Sustainability top-graduating student this year. Graduating with a joint honours degree in both ERS and Speech Communicaation, a final average of 88.8%, and a wide range of skills from environmental research to communication and critical thinking, Sara’s interdisciplinary approach to complex issues is surely impressive.
On top of Sara’s continuous academic excellence through her years at the University of Waterloo, she relentlessly challenges herself through her extracurricular activities and research topics. Her double-credit honours thesis about the potential of community-owned renewables in rural-Ontario received the top grade in her class and will act as an important piece of research in the field.
“Sara is the epitome of excellence; she is dedicated, hardworking, intelligent and embodies virtuous character and passion in everything that she does,” states her co-op manager at Alectra Utilities.
