Hi! I’m Manjusha. I’m a fourth-year student studying computer science and business at the Dhillon School of Business. I'm originally from Toronto and have moved around a lot throughout my life and now reside in Lethbridge. I was a student mentor last year, and I'm excited to be back again this year!

Olivia

Hello! My name is Olivia and I'm a second-year Bachelor of Science student with a major in kinesiology. I'm a volunteer with Let's Talk Science and love anything to do with science or physical activity. Outside of classes, I'm heading into my second year on the ULethbridge dance team and my 4th year teaching youth dance classes. I am also training for my first full marathon! I come from a small town with a graduating class of 90 students and understand how stressful starting university can be, so I am super excited to help others make it a little less stressful.

Debra-Lyn

Hi! My name is Debra-Lyn. I'm a fifth-year transfer student at ULethbridge, pursuing a dual major in Biological Sciences and Psychology. Since arriving at ULethbridge, I've truly found my place - engaging in research, joining social clubs and building a supportive community among my peers. As a transfer student, I have experienced firsthand the inclusive and welcoming environment created by professors, fellow students and campus supports. On weekends, I enjoy hiking in Alberta's stunning mountain ranges and chasing glimpses of the northern lights. When the weather turns colder, you'll find me curled up with a book, a cup of tea and a couple of cuddly pups.

Keiara

Hi everyone! My name is Keiara, and I am working towards my Bachelor of Science in General Sciences as well as a Bachelor of Education combined degree at ULethbridge. Starting school last fall I was nervous, however those nerves quickly evaporated as I found a community and made ULethbridge my home. I jumped headfirst into different clubs and activities, became a first-year representative with the ULethbridge Students' Union and immersed myself in university experiences such as Rotaract. The best advice I could share is that it's ok to be nervous, we all are, but don't let nerves hold you back from some incredible experiences, as university is all about saying yes and trying new things, with boundaries of course. I have built lifelong friendships, developed as a leader and discovered opportunities I never imagined all because I started saying yes! If you are ever looking for me, look for the events happening on campus and you'll find me, but in my sparse free time, you can find me spending time with my friends, shopping or listening to music.

Hosting availability:
