Aaron Nakama Appreciates U of L Connections

As a student, Aaron Nakama (BA '98) was actively involved in the University of Lethbridge community through his work at the campus radio station. Reflecting on his experience, he can see how the opportunities he had at the University helped shape his future.

"My time at the U of L was about figuring out what interested me," says Nakama. "Looking back, I can see how my choices evolved over the course of my degree. It was not easy but it provided a strong foundation for future opportunities."

Since graduating from the U of L 14 years ago, Nakama has worked in a variety of fields – everything from broadcasting to technical recruitment. He is currently the senior technical recruiter at Fujitsu Consulting (Canada) Inc.

"Because of the liberal arts education I had at the U of L I am a well-rounded, global citizen, agile enough to take on new opportunities as they present themselves. The U of L enabled me to explore my interests and make connections with faculty, staff and other students that I rely on to this day. I give back to show my thanks."
