CLASS REPS: Nicolette Carnella, Rachelle Li and Roslyn McCall Danielle Harrs is in her third year of the commerce program at Queen’s University, where she has become involved with an investment club called Queen’s Capital. She is a member of the varsity squash team and they have been OUA champions for the past three years. Danielle is majoring in finance and is starting her internship in investment banking this summer. Currently, she is on exchange in Madrid attending classes during the week and travelling around Europe on the weekends ‒ her favourite city so far has been Barcelona! Valerie Koo was accepted into the University of Waterloo’s school of pharmacy and began her first year in January 2017. Valerie is in a four-year doctor of pharmacy program and will graduate in 2020. Mikaela Preston is completing her junior year studying chemical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Mikaela spent last summer in Toronto exploring opportunities in domestic and international sustainability policy and clean-tech entrepreneurship. In June, she attended the United Nations Multi-stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation at the UN headquarters in New York City, where she spoke in front of the assembly on youth innovation. She subsequently joined the UN Major Group for Children and Youth, the General Assembly-

mandated space for formal youth engagement. Over the past year, she has been working on the Science-Policy Interface Team, where they advocate for evidence-based policy. In October, she attended Habitat III in Quito, Ecuador ‒ the largest sustainable development conference in the world. Mikaela still finds time to enjoy swing dancing, involvement in her sorority (Alpha Delta Pi) and snowboarding, where she competes at the collegiate level and races every weekend on the Penn Ski & Snowboard Team. Alexandra (Alex) Strickland is a third-year student studying political science at the University of Tampa. Last semester, Alex did an exchange to the University of Amsterdam. She had the opportunity to visit 12 different countries while abroad, including Morocco. Amsterdam was amazing and, in Amsterdam, she learned how to ride a bike and survived some very close “in the canal” experiences, but finally got the hang of it. After enjoying summer 12 months of the year for the past two years, Alex really enjoyed watching the leaves change last fall. She took a class which looked into youth and youth activism and is now part of a global network connecting youth advocates across many different contexts. Alex looks forward to returning to Toronto for the summer to continue working for a criminal law firm.
