PACS Co-op Profile: Afiyah Basil

As a co-op student, a Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) student, and someone involved in leadership roles at Waterloo, Afiyah has been able to make the most out of her degree. Afiyah is a double major student of PACS and Psychology, and as she completes her 4A term, she can reflect on the classroom and co-op experiences that have helped her grow. 

This past term, several students had the opportunity to go to New York for a Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) United Nations (UN) Office Seminar. It was a chance to connect with other students, hear guest speakers from all over the world, and tour the UN headquarters. One of the students who went was Joshua Cheon, a second year PACS (Peace and Conflict Studies) major, who came out of the trip reflecting on what he had learned and experienced. 

Welcome to the final newsletter of 2022! I know this is the highlight of the week for a lot of you, but don't worry, the newsletters will be back in 2023 :)

I hope you are all doing well and taking care of yourself this exam season. There are a lot of important dates and deadlines coming up so take a moment and enjoy this beautifully crafted newsletter.
