Computer science student Elijah Sevilla-Garcia won a draw for a tuition offset worth up to $1,850 at the welcome barbecue hosted by the Organization of Part-time University Students on Sept. 22, but everyone in attendance was a winner, says executive director Maryan Amalow.
“There was a tremendous turnout that included part-time undergraduate, full-time undergraduate, graduate students, faculty, staff, and alumni of the University,” she says. “Over 500 students, staff and faculty members were fed during the two hours.”
In addition to a free meal, they received door prizes and information from booths that included the Canadian Federation of Students, Lancer Recreation, and the Office of Human Rights, Equity, and Accessibility.
