Non-Traditional University Experience Breath In, Write Out

This week’s episode is about the online undergraduate experience. Going to university is a wonderful opportunity to not only learn about a diverse array of subjects, but also make friends and build social networks. There are several universities in Canada that operate solely online, such as Athabasca University. Online universities are a great resource for students who are in remote areas or mature students, but it can be hard to cultivate the same interpersonal relationships as being on campus studying. We thought this would be a good topic to discuss as many students have been and are continuing to study online during COVID.

This week’s guest is Devon Mair, a Business student at Athabasca University and Social Media Marketing Assistant at PFAU, who is passionate about marketing and art. Devon previously studied Criminology and Teaching, and found the perfect place where she can apply her passion for helping. She is a people-person, community-minded, and an amazing social connector.
