Meet Alex, a third-year student in the Environment Faculty at the University of Waterloo. Alex has a reputation for being a laid-back and adventurous thinker, often found exploring the great outdoors instead of confined to the more competitive and analytical atmospheres of engineering courses. After hearing horror stories about the infamous E7 classroom, infamous for its challenging curriculum, Alex has vowed to stay on the sidelines of those high-pressure environments, favoring instead collaborative projects in sustainability and environmental solutions.
