I want to become a Merrimack Ambassador because I want to share the love I have for Merrimack with potential students. I specifically want the students to fall in love with Merrimack, just like I did.

I also feel that I have a lot of school pride. School pride is essential when being an Ambassador because you are sharing your love for Merrimack with interested students. Finally,…

Issues such as lack of proper education, dead-end minimum wage jobs, unsanitary living conditions, and unfair labor practices can have a detrimental impact on the health condition of individuals in a community. Newcomers or recent immigrants in Canada do not always get the job that they desire and many end up doing odd jobs barely able to meet basic needs. In that case proper health and wellness would become the least of their priorities. As society and as a nation we must strive to correct all the inequities such as job opportunities, access to affordable high-quality education, and overall activities and programs that help integrate immigrants into mainstream Canadian society.…
