"Being a part of student groups enriched my university experience. It helped me to connect to the university better as well as introduced me to various students from diverse fields! This encouraged me to take on an executive position in SASA and LGTxUTM. Holding these positions has fostered professional development and enhanced my communication, liaising, and team-building skills."
-Saisha Ahluwalia, Co-Founder, South Asian Student Association
