Have you ever wondered what the team at Student Support & Advising works on when we are not busy helping students at the Welcome Centre, Advising Centre or on phone calls? How about what our pets look like?<\/p>\n

I hope that this edition of ES Connected helps people learn more about the dynamic team at Student Support & Advising and the work that we do. Our team of 54 can usually be found roaming throughout Brock Hall in Vancouver \u2013 although more recently you will see our smiling faces over Zoom or Skype. Our team consists of people with a variety of experiences as we have individuals formerly from social work, teaching, working at a winery, restaurateur and probation officer \u2013 all of which comes in handy when advising students! Although we work hard, we are also a tremendous amount of fun! This team is truly a special group of people who support each other every day. This edition will give you a chance to see some of the work that we do, as well, give you a glimpse into our less serious side.<\/p>\n

It’s been a tremendous pleasure for me to be able to work with such a great team of people. It\u2019s really amazing how much we\u2019ve grown from when this unit was formed just over 7 years ago, and it\u2019s exciting to see it continually evolve. I sincerely hope you enjoy this edition of ES Connected and hope to have an opportunity to speak with you one day!<\/p>\n
