Alexis would like to consider herself a “Dude,” and is working daily to perfect her ‘mellowing out’ strategies.

Sally Bourque
Sally is a first-year MET student, living in Whitehorse, Yukon. She works for the Information Technology and Learning Commons department at Yukon College and aspires to continue gaining experience and wisdom around the intersection of “technology” and “learning”.  In this fast-paced, often misunderstood and contentious field, Sally has gained a new appreciation for the art of “takin’ it easy” and the role that technology can play.

Katie Cox
Katie is a first-year MET student and new Dudeism convert. When she’s not espousing the ‘take it easy’ lifestyle, she works as an editor for a company that creates e-learning and training solutions for companies around the world.
