Student Wellness Ambassador Program

Hi! I am a fourth-year BSc Psychology student with a Neuroscience minor. I plan to continue my education by pursuing my master's and PhD in clinical neuropsychology and becoming a registered psychologist, potentially focusing on research. I joined SWAP because I wanted to gain practical experiences working with people and contributing to mental health initiatives within my community, while fostering collaboration. You can find me indulging in my passions, such as hiking, learning piano, playing chess, researching, and volunteering in the psychiatric unit.

My name is Jericho, a 4th year student majoring in BMGT Marketing. A gym-loving and absolute nerd combo that loves to get out his comfort zone to gain experiences! I joined SWAP because I was tired of working in a cubicle at my internship and wanted to really get out there more and I don’t see any better opportunity than to help out and talk to my fellow colleagues/classmates around the campus whether it be peer-support or event hosting times. 

My name is Mmeso Ifebuzor and I’m a 3rd-year Neuroscience student. I joined SWAP because I’m passionate about health, especially mental wellness. As a student, I understand how challenging it can be to balance academics, personal life, and overall well-being. I want to help create a supportive environment where students feel seen, heard, and encouraged. Through SWAP, I hope to contribute to building a community that promotes wellness and gives students spaces to feel at peace.

Hello everyone! My name is Alejandro Figueroa, and I am a B.Sc. Kinesiology student with minors in Neuroscience and Sociology at the University of Lethbridge. I joined the Student Wellness Ambassador Program because I am passionate about student well-being and understand how challenging it can be to balance academics, leadership, work, and personal life. Outside of SWAP, I stay involved through student leadership, community initiatives, and as an athlete for the Pronghorns track and field team. In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking, and going for a good hike. Through SWAP, I hope to help foster a supportive campus environment where students feel encouraged, connected, and empowered to prioritize their mental and overall well-being.

I am a 3rd year finance student at the Calgary campus of U of L. I signed up to SWAP because this opportunity helps me give back to my campus and community. I love volunteering because it shows me that the work that we do makes a difference for the better. Mental health is one of the topics that still makes people uncomfortable, and through my efforts on campus I hope to change that.
