My five helpful tips for working from home (WFH)

Adjusting to a virtual work environment

Alysha H, S20 SAF Communications & Media Associate
This summer I completed my first and only co-op term with the University of Waterloo’s School of Accounting and Finance. For this work term, I worked as the SAF’s communications & media associate.

My remote working experience at Microsoft

My experience as a peer mentor

zaineb
Being a peer mentor over the last few weeks has been an enriching and rewarding experience. It felt incredible to be able to help kids who are in the same position I was exactly a year ago.
