Meet Sam, a fourth-year Political Science student at the University of Waterloo with a strong interest in military history and international relations. Growing up in a family of veterans, Sam developed a critical perspective on military-industrial complexes and often engages in thought-provoking discussions about the implications of technology in warfare. Spending weekends immersing themselves in local history at Waterloo's archives, Sam always seeks to connect historical events to current geopolitical issues—all while balancing their passion for the arts through a photography club on campus.
