Most Memorable York University Experience |
There are many so it's hard to pick just one. Probably the most long-standing are the memories of the time with friends - hanging out after a hard week of practices and school watching movies, eating junk food and staying up late chatting in residence. Some of the best, most educational and entertaining conversations I've ever had.
Qualifying for the CIAU Swimming Championships is also up there on the list. |
York University Anecdote or Highlight |
This would be the Founders Pumpkin Shirt Escapade. A very good friend, was a high level black belt in Judo (8th Dan) - he was a pretty intimidating guy. We found out that the nickname used by his mother was pumpkin and had a picture of him wearing some entertaining attire. One of the other guys in his house thought it would be funny to have a shirt made up with the picture and the name on it. The problem was that no one was willing/dared to wear it. Following some serious negotiations and the assurance of protection, I agreed to wear the shirt to a college event. Needless to say, I'm glad running was part of my training; I survived, the shirt did not, and we were both able to laugh about it long after the fact. |
Highlight(s) of Professional Career |
My professional career has provided me with the opportunity to travel around the world, to live in several provinces and really get to know the people and unique aspects of different regions. The highlights of my career involve the people I've had the opportunity to meet and work with along the way. I've volunteered for a number of committees and task forces, with one of the most rewarding being the national project on transcript and transfer credit nomenclature. This project touches all provinces and institution types and aims to support student mobility and ultimately student success in their post-secondary studies. |
