Last week marked the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ’s 108^th convocation. Hundreds of graduates crossed the stage to receive their degree, beginning a new chapter in their lives as alumni of the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ.  

At , we’re not just known for creating the world’s best unmanned vehicles for research and development, we’re also known for creating unique learning opportunities for our employees, both in the office and beyond. It should come as no surprise, then, that we’re huge supporters of co-op education.

Phew, what an exhausting weekend we had on campus last week! I almost thought about going into hibernation like a bear just to recover from it all. That being said, I couldn’t have had a better time and I love when the pride returns to campus and we can all relive our time together again.  In fact, I keep reliving the weekend with the Storify that was recreated.

Hear the story of ��ݮ��Ƶ graduate, Dan Colquhoun, a Principal Architect working on security systems at BlackBerry.

With that title, you’re thinking Christmas, right? You’ve got that jingle in your head: “It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's the hap-happiest season of all!” But here at ��ݮ��Ƶ, that’s not necessarily the case.

I remember the first time I set foot on u��ݮ��Ƶ campus.   Away from home...meeting new people, attending class lectures, being in residence...I was scared and excited!  But I found that the Dons in residence helped to make it a wonderful experience! 

Hello there readers! Blogger-by-profession I am not, but when the opportunity arose to share why I (a proud Applied Health Sciences grad) attend ��ݮ��Ƶ alumni events with the world (or at least Alumni Affairs’ Facebook followers), my fingers hit the keyboard. But before I get started, I thought you should know a bit about me first.

I remember the day I approached my first Plan 100 class: "Introduction to Planning". I was 18 years old, away from home for the first time and anxious to meet the Urban & Regional Planning classmates with whom I'd be spending the next four years. I took a seat in the back row. Introductions were made. Smiles exchanged. Connections established.

My name is Amanda, and I am a recent graduate of recreation and business studies, as well as the Master of Theological Studies program. That’s about seven years of my life spent at u��ݮ��Ƶ. 

I hope that you’ve enjoyed this blog series and have gained useful tips for your career journey. I thought I’d end this blog with an update about myself. In the past few months I’ve interviewed and sought advice from ��ݮ��Ƶ Career Advisors, Jayne and Tanya. It’s been great to have gained insight into myself to help me on my way. With their help I’ve completed and analyzed personality and skills assessments, and also learned useful tips for future job searches.
