The University of Guelph is a health school.

“Before attending U of G, I was inspired to pursue psychology because my brothers were diagnosed with autism when they were three years old. I was very interested in how we can improve life by increasing the quality of life for everyone in our society. Now at Autism Canada, I’m the Manager of Communications and Events. On a daily basis, I monitor and update seven social media platforms, facilitate cause-related marketing agreements with companies and help people get in touch with the resources and information they need to make informed decisions for their families.”

“I loved having the opportunity to study in a space that was very interdisciplinary and I found myself engaging in conversations where I got to learn about different topics from different courses. It was a wonderful, collaborative learning environment. You don’t need to change the world; you can change it in your community by simply giving someone the time of day.”
