By way of introduction let me first say that my role in the A2U program was that of Faculty Liaison. I provided a bridge between the academic and administrative operations of the Faculty of Arts and those of The Working Centre, our community partner. In this role I would regularly meet with colleagues at The Working Centre (Heather, Maru, Gabe, and Stephanie). Together we would troubleshoot the myriad of obstacles that students face when accessing university.  Although I did not get to know each of you as well as your instructors, I did learn of the diversity of your life experiences, your challenges, and your achievements. It was always an interesting, and often moving role.
