S1-E11 - 2019 Convocation- Experiences- Before, during and after uOttawa with Sarah De Carufel, Jerry Fengwei Zhang, Anita Popescu and Humam Abdul Karim Shwaikh
Episode 11
Today will be our final episode of this season. As we approach this year’s convocation we'll be discussing with several of our recent graduates and future graduates.
To offer students a look into what awaits them, we met with two of this year’s graduating cohort, one of our 2014 alumna and one of our current students. We got their view on what they expect to come next ,how they’ve fared so far with their professional experiences and what they would like to have known when they started their university journey.
