Seeing people historically disenfranchised, take ownership of research and wield that power in real time was deeply moving. It affirmed for me that this is exactly where I want to be.
Jerry Poliszczuk, 4th-year Bachelor of Social Work student
I didn’t know these opportunities were available to me when I was younger, but I want to make sure the younger generation knows they can do anything they set their minds to.
