           Which Liberal Arts skills have defined Tanvi’s career so far?

       ■   High degree of emotional     ■   Negotiation                  ■   Adaptability to unpredictability
           intelligence                 ■   Communicating effectively,   ■   Critical & creative thinking – especially
       ■   Collaboration                    without being wordy              within challenging circumstances

                                      “I would credit my Liberal Arts degrees and my experiences at Huron for
                                       my career in tech. Coming from a STEM-heavy environment in high school,
                                       it was a tough choice to follow my passion for the Arts. It has, however,
                                       served me well in allowing me to capitalize on my soft skills and apply
                                       them to solving problems creatively and effectively - at work and outside.
                                       In my industry, five-year plans become obsolete the moment you make
                                       them; it is better to keep learning and taking on new challenges as
                                       they come. Studying the Liberal Arts helped me become an effective
                                       communicator who can work with different types of people and roles, and
                                       this helps me succeed in a highly technical role that I love! I am confident
                                       that this path can help other students with similar goals as well.”

“It’s amazing to see the types of students who come to
 Huron and their responsiveness to doing work that actually
 benefits others. These young people are not just focused
 on doing well at school, they want to collaborate with their
 professors as colleagues and build things, like the GLE
 Catalogue, which foster social cohesion and will improve
 cities’ quality of life. It’s my absolute privilege to support
 them in any way I can to achieve their noble goals.”

 “Economics helps us optimize the use of limited resources,
  so this subject is one of the most important areas for
  research and development. I have always believed our
  generation will contribute to the overall betterment of
  mankind, and I believe economics is where these answers
  will come from. With Huron’s application-based learning
  style, our Economics department helps you understand
  how trillion-dollar companies make decisions about
  resourcing and empowers you to model this in your own
  life and line of work. The professors at Huron have been
  amazing influences, and they are the most helpful faculty
  I have ever encountered.”

     community builders, from around the world, to help             cultural and socio-economic background.

     United by a shared vision of Liberal Arts excellence and commitment to Challenging Students to be Leaders with
     Heart, these outstanding people make up Huron’s new Board of Governors and the following are representative
     of the humanpower behind this group:

                                “Huron has a long and rich history and is held in high regard as an academic
                                 institution,” says Board Chair Brian Porter, President and CEO, Scotiabank.
                                “I am proud to be joining its Board of Governors and look forward to working
                                 with the Board, faculty, staff and students to build on Huron’s strengths.”

     “You can’t just look at corporate Canada to address our lack of inclusivity: our student
      population needs to mirror our country’s landscape. When you look around the
      classroom and the boardroom, they need to be diverse. Huron’s vision of inclusion
      is in line with everything I stand for. Our President is really walking the talk, and I am
      excited about rolling up my sleeves to ensure people from all walks of life are part of
      this school’s prestigious ecosystem.”
