Beyond Voluntourism
Meet Ruth. She’s in the Honours Arts and Business program, double majoring in political science and history. For one of her paid internships, Ruth travelled to the Philippines to work for a non-profit and wrote a case study examining an urban development project in the slums of Baseco.
Ruth participated in day-to-day gatherings within the community to figure out which tactics were working, so that those actions could be replicated elsewhere. For Ruth, it was all about creating positive change for a community in need.
Beyond leadership
Meet Amy. She double majored in English and Economics. During her paid internships, Amy worked as a junior economist, performing short-term policy analysis, and as a marketing associate at a prominent tech company, creating marketing campaigns, enewsletters, and in-store events.
But these weren’t the only titles Amy earned while in school. She served as Co-President of the Improv Club, Arts and Business Society Co-President, Entrepreneurship Society VP of Marketing, and Orientation Week Leader.
