Success Stories

Fall 2022/2023

Voices in Durham worked to allow students a hands-on opportunity to report on the diverse region of Durham, play leadership roles, practice publish speaking skills, and craft stories that are not actively being told in the local news scene. One of the goals of a journalist is to be the “voice of the people” and this stands an example of why it’s important to listen and tell the stories that are not being heard in news today.

The Ambassador Program is for students looking to get involved, positively contribute to the campus community and become leaders on campus. Once Ambassadors have successfully worked their way through Levels 1 to 3 of the program, they become eligible to participate in Level 4. This year, the Level 4 Community project was tasked with creating a survey connected to transportation and mobility to be shared with the wider Ontario Tech student community.
