Meet Raj, a dedicated maintenance worker at the University of Waterloo for over five years. He's passionate about his role in keeping the campus running smoothly, yet feels overlooked in the university's internal recognition systems. Having seen colleagues who’ve been part of the community for decades not receive invites to important events, Raj often advocates for his fellow CUPE members, believing that appreciation should extend to all lengths of service, not just those recognized in higher academic roles. When he's not at work, you can find him volunteering in local community events or sharing stories about the university's history with newcomers.
