Waterloo welcomes the 2023 cohort of Schulich Leaders
This year, the University of Waterloo is pleased to welcome 10 new first-year students to its cohort, through the Schulich Leader Scholarships program. Awarded annually to 100 high school students across Canada, the Schulich Leader Scholarships are granted to exceptional students who show great entrepreneurial promise in the field of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
The Faculty of Science is excited to welcome one of these Schulich Leaders: Brandon De Lazzari, who will be joining the Co-operative Physics program in the Faculty of Science.
Brandon has always been drawn to understanding the world at its most fundamental level, which fueled his interest in physics. He’s also deeply invested in unraveling the underlying principles that govern the universe, which is why he plans to pursue a career in research, with a focus on quantum, particle, or plasma physics.
“I plan to use the co-op opportunities provided by the University of Waterloo to help determine which of these fields I would like to work in,” he says.
