Why did you decide to become a FYG?

I wanted to become a FYG to inspire first-year students and also to be a fresh face and bring new ideas. I want to share my experience and be a big sister to all of the incoming students because I was once in their position.

What's your favorite part about the UArts community?

How accepting everyone is.

Why should new students attend New Student Orientation?

To gain better knowledge and understanding.
