“After attending March Open House in my final year of high school, I knew I wanted to study Science at Waterloo. Spending the whole day on campus inspired me, and my time as a student set me on the path to pursuing a masters in astrobiology.” - Isabelle Marincic (BSc ’25) 
"After attending the PhysiX event in middle school, I was instantly drawn to physics. The hands-on activities sparked my curiosity, and that early experience stayed with me, leading me to pursue physics at the University of Waterloo." - Bushra Almalki (physics student)
