As human beings, it is inevitable that we will all experience stress from time to time.  As a Neuroscience and Mental Health student, I have learned a lot about the neuroscience behind stress.  But just as importantly, as a first-year student, I have learned some techniques for managing stress while taking on the new challenge and busy lifestyle of being in university.

My Experience with Computer Science Co-op

Hi, my name is Veronica.  I am a fourth year computer science student and I just returned to classes at Carleton after a year of co-op jobs. I decided to do co-op so that I could experience some computer science placements before deciding on a career path. First, I spent 4 months as Software Developer in Test at You.i TV and then I spent 8 months working as System Engineer at General Dynamics Mission Systems – Canada.

Our Wonderful First Year Reps!

Welcome to the FYR blog!

A FYR’s main job is to make weekly in-class announcements, which not only allows them to hone in on their public speaking skills, but also gives them the opportunity to build connections with professors and make new friends.
