Highlights from my third year at Carleton…
Hi there!
This school year has been incredible! I don’t even know where to begin…
Being a Student Success Peer Helper with the Student Experience Office was an amazing experience and I recommend it to anyone who wants to get involved. I loved working on different projects such as CU Amazing Race and the recruitment portfolio for Summer Orientation Leaders. This position also gave me the chance to help out at Ravenspalooza and IKEA student madness in September, the Annual CU Holiday Skate and with various Frost Week initiatives! Through this experience, I met so many new people and made friendships that will truly last a lifetime. I am so grateful for this opportunity!
Volunteering another year as a student mentor with the Science Student Success Centre proved to be amazing. I met so many new volunteers this past year. It was also very exciting to see the Centre grow and expand to include many new projects. I also had the opportunity to design a study group training manual that will hopefully be in use very soon! I am looking forward to being a senior mentor next year!
A couple of months ago, I was asked to join a benchmarking team with the Faculty of Science. I am so glad that I did, because it has been a wonderful experience thus far! It’s a really neat project, that I am very glad to be a part of.
I also loved working with the Undergraduate Recruitment Office this past year – helping out at CU Day, the Ontario Universities Fair in Toronto and the March Break Program. I love talking to students and their parents about all the great things Carleton has to offer!
Some other highlights of this past year also include: participating in Carleton Serves, the science ski trip and taking part in the Carleton University student flash mob. I also enjoyed attending the Raven’s basketball games, the Rock the Vote concert and, of course, hanging out with friends at Oliver’s! I also had the amazing opportunity of attending the Donor’s Reception in December and the Faculty of Science Dean’s Honours List reception in February!
One last highlight: my research! A couple of days ago, the undergraduate research projects I have been a part of were featured on the Carleton website. You can check it out here:

Anyways, I really should get back to the books. I hope my fourth year at Carleton is just as amazing as this past year!
Keep smiling,
Amisha
