Why did you choose SLU?

 I chose SLU for its focus on a liberal arts education and its Global Studies department.

What do you like most/enjoy most about SLU?

I-House Tea Time will always be my favourite.

CBL courses taken:

The Health Initiative

Why did you apply to be a CM:

To get to know the North Country better and encourage my peers to do the same.

Why should every student take a CBL course during their time at SLU?

Living in SLU you don’t realize you are actually in a bubble. It is important to burst that bubble and see the wider community to get a better understanding of where you are located but your own positionality.

As a new CM (and an international student), I am most excited about working within the North country community and getting to know the North country better. I look forward to learning more about Canton history and culture through working with our community partners!
