Note* If you would like to participate, please bring a phone or computer that can access wi-fi or cellular data.

"Diversity and Social Justice Studies is unlike any program I had heard about."

What brought you to ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ? Why did you choose to study here?

I grew up in a small city in central Alberta, called Wetaskiwin. We were once only known as the city with the worst crime rates in Canada. Coming to ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ was a bit of a choice I made on a whim—I wanted out of Alberta, to experience other provinces and places. I had only ever lived in the same areas, with my family always close by. I wanted to be able to adventure out and experience other sides of Canada, and not just what I was familiar with.

What brought you to ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ? Why did you choose to study here?

My roots trace back to the bustling city of Karachi, Pakistan, where I spent my early childhood. However, my upbringing took me on a unique adventure through the Maldives, Malaysia, and the UAE. My journey has been a captivating blend of diverse cultures and unforgettable experiences.
