Joining GSEF and becoming a member of the team was a fun and meaningful experience during my graduate studies at the University of Waterloo. During my position, I worked with amazing people and I was exposed to interesting events and activities that I have never experienced before. I am glad that, as the GSEF Vice Coordinator, I have left an impact by contributing to graduate students’ academic and social experiences. I strongly encourage graduate students to apply for and join GSEF and I promise that you will not regret it! - Vice-Coordinator (Sept 2020 - Aug 2021)
