Hey, this is me, Chris Haddad

I’m a fourth year Commerce student at Laurentian. As an active full-time student involved in both athletics and social activities who juggles a 20-hour week work schedule, I know a thing or two about time management. I also believe in making the most of every opportunity.

Laurentian University has played a critical role in moulding me into the ambitious and driven individual I am today. I initially chose it for its reputation of fostering an environment where profs listen and get to know you and your potential, where you feel you are valued and that your ideas have merit. This has proven to be most accurate and I’ve enjoyed every minute of my experience. I’ve also had numerous opportunities to get involved in various sports, clubs and with community organizations such as the local Rotary Club which have enabled me to build relationships with people that I now consider mentors. It’s been quite an adventure so far.
