Month: March 2023

I was thrilled to attend TEDxRoyalRoadsU in February 2023, as it was a once-and-never opportunity to witness such a big event while studying at RRU. The speakers came from diverse backgrounds, including knowledge experts, entrepreneurs, business owners, and high school students. One of my takeaways is to talk to my 80-year-old self as recommended by a speaker. He challenged the audience, “What do you want to be when you are 80 years old? What should I do to achieve these goals right now?” These questions are thought-provoking. They freed our minds from the daily hassles and focused us on the most important things in our life.

Eventually, my website, Michael Speaks up for You, was highlighted in RRU Student Service eNewsletter today.

“Ongoing: Meet the elected graduate student member on Academic Council“

This is the first move. I hope to connect graduate students more effectively and efficiently. I also want to set up a norm for the student representative in next term.

My second move is to institutionalize the representation for graduate students. It is not a easy way to go as I have to gain approval from the RRU high administration. I added a notification feature to this RRU website. When you accept it, you will automatically get updates.
