All in the Family
My dad is an alumnus of the U of C and this played a part in my choosing to study here. The U of C offers a great economics program with established and well known professors—so choosing the University of Calgary was an easy choice for me.
Future Plans
Upon completion of my Bachelors degree, I would like to work on my Masters in economics. After that I’d like to obtain employment with the oil and gas industry as an economist. I'm a Status-Indian from the Blood Reserve so I’d like to conduct this work within the aboriginal sector.
Dean’s Advice
Stay on top of your studies and always do your readings!
Make sure you use your time wisely. A plan of action always helped me to divide my time equally among my classes.
Ask questions
Don’t be afraid to ask your professors questions…there is no such thing as a dumb question.
Volunteer
Get involved and utilize the Co-curricular Record (CCR). The CCR is a tool that will help you separate yourself from others when you’re searching for jobs.
Favourites
Place to study
A great area to study is in the Native Centre. They have lockers, computer labs and study rooms for members. It’s a quiet and very friendly environment.
Place to eat
Since I hang out in the Native Centre in MacHall, all I have to do is go downstairs and grab a bite. I also enjoy the pot luck lunches and meals that we put on in the Native Centre.
