"My SASAH experience not only served as the catalyst for a lifelong engagement with learning, knowledge, and the Arts and Humanities but helped me prepare for my career."

What are your thoughts about life as a SASAH student? What makes it unique?

As a SASAH student, I was uniquely positioned to have a built-in support system because of the program’s small cohorts and community. During my first year at Western, I lived on the SASAH Living-Learning Community (LLC) floor in Ontario Hall, which allowed me to become quick friends with my SASAH cohort and the opportunity to form study groups. Living and learning with my cohort, made me feel incredibly supported and eased my transition into University.

How has SASAH prepared you for the job market and/or graduate school?

My SASAH experience not only served as the catalyst for a lifelong engagement with learning, knowledge, and the Arts and Humanities but helped me prepare for my career. In the classroom, I developed a strong foundation in critical thinking, research, and communication skills, both written and verbal. My SASAH experiential learning experiences as an intern at The Walrus and Hive Media Group were incredible opportunities for my growth, development, and professionalization.
