  • “A recent positive memory I have with GEM is GEMinar 3. It was very eye opening for me and taught me to look at things from different perspectives, to never give up, and to stop putting unnecessary stress on myself.”

  • “My mentor set me up with the fantastic opportunity to meet with a biomedical engineer at UWaterloo as it has been one of my options for post-secondary education. This chat allowed me to ask questions and get honest answers for an individual who has experienced the application process and environment at Waterloo. Without GEM, this chance would not have been possible, and I am very thankful for the opportunity”
