If there’s one thing I can say about completing a student research project, it’s that the people you talk to will be interested in what you are doing. No matter the program or the topic of research, there will always be lots of people that want to participate. Due to time constraints, I was not able to distribute a survey to students regarding sexual violence policies on Trent’s campus. I was, however, able to interview multiple members of staff on campus.

It’s Megan’s first time organizing a food drive, but you’d never have known. “I was disappointed by the hoarding I saw on the news, it wasn’t a fair representation of the community.” She confides in me. “Being vulnerable is scary enough when everything is fine, but it’s even scarier right now. It’s important we stay connected.”
