Meet Alex, a passionate and analytical first-year student in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. Growing up in a small town, Alex often observed that not all high schools graded students equally, which inspired a keen interest in educational fairness. This background drives Alex to engage in thoughtful discussions about academic standards and grade inflation, as they navigate the rigorous expectations of university life. When not crunching numbers or debating educational practices, Alex can be found volunteering in tutoring programs, striving to support students from diverse backgrounds.
