"Student Open Circles was a very important part of my time at University. It really was formative and grounding, at a time of lots of change and discovery. Being part of the board gives me an opportunity to pay that forward to future students."
As a student, Maddie was part of our reflection activities, including our “Tech Free Zone.” She has a strong commitment to her own reflective and creative practices, something that she says was fostered by Student Open Circles during her time as a student.
Since graduation, Maddie continues to make a difference through her work as a Social Planner. She has a passion for supporting and building community, and often splits her time between Kitchener (where she lives) and Hamilton (where she still has strong ties to community).
