A MESSAGE FROM SELINA ESTEVES
Our alumni family continues to inspire me with stories of resilience, innovation and compassion.

As we enter this new year, we explore the many ways in which our wonderful alumni influence others and the world around them. In this issue, we share some of those stories as well as reveal how the voices of our alumni help create positive change at the Faculty.

The new year ahead will no doubt be full of challenges. We look forward to meeting them with you.

Sincerely,
Selina Esteves
Director, Advancement and Alumni Relations
