Because of our relatively small classes in the design school, there is ample opportunity for a strong community to be built. It’s the re- lationships we build here that are going to help us grow both in our careers and our personal lives as we graduate. Breaking it down, I love this place, and am much more upset about being in my last year than I thought I would be. I really, really want to make this place even better for the students that’ll be here long after I’m gone.

DESIGN NICHOLAS GAULD Nicholas Gauld is a first year student from Niagara Falls studying for his Diploma in the Theatre Arts – Technical Production program. Nicholas has been involved in the live theatre industry for just over three years with his love for lighting. His most recent involvement includes work- ing on the live 2014 New Year’s Eve event in Niagara Falls and working as a stagehand for Greg Frewin, the International Grand Champion of Magic. (Can you believe he has worked with live ti- gers?!) Back home Nicholas loves to play with his seven year old broth- er Lucas, spend time with family, friends and his girlfriend Emilee. Close friends know that Nicholas can be shy guy at first but in the end he always has people laughing with his singing and dance moves. Throughout high school he was the Technical Co-ordinator on the Student Council and wants more of a challenge. His goal is to make you his fellow students at Fanshawe know that your voice is heard and make your college experience one to remember. “We all have dreams, that’s why we go to college, to make those dreams come true.” If you have any questions you can always reach Nicholas Gauld through his email, [email protected]. “I look forward to meeting you and making your Fanshawe expe- rience great by running to be your School of Design representative for the 2014-2015 school year.” HUMAN SERVICES HUMAN SERVICES INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
