What does your role look like as a VP of your committee?

Do you have any experiences you would like to share from your time as a VP?
”Having a client give positive feedback on a project you've been working on is just the best feeling. Feeling like all of the hard work you've put into a client has helped has given me so much fulfilment and pride in what I do.”

Any tips or tricks you would like to share with Marketing students?
”BCIT can be crazy busy, but prioritize making time for yourself and the people you love. It will make you a better student.”
