Meet Alex, a second-year engineering student at the University of Waterloo who prides himself on being practical and straightforward. Raised in a small conservative town, he often feels his traditional views clash with the more progressive ideologies of his peers. Juggling a busy schedule filled with classes and co-op applications, he believes that focusing on "real issues" is more important than what he perceives as unnecessary debates about inclusivity. Despite his blunt opinions, Alex is a team player in group projects, showing that he values collaboration even if he doesn't always agree with the larger movement towards inclusivity.
