My name is Isaac Harris and I am a graduate of Sandwich Secondary School. Since graduating, I have been attending the University of Windsor majoring in business with a co-op at the Odette School of Business. With this degree, I hope to become a successful entrepreneur who can give back to the community and provide opportunities to those in need. I am a firm believer that anyone can succeed when given the chance and employing people that may struggle to find work or who are less fortunate is a great way to give back and lift others up. As an individual of African Canadian descent, I feel a strong desire to help racialized community members who often face additional challenges. I plan to use my education in business administration to provide support to my community and accomplish my goal. I am also a member of the University of Windsor's Baseball team. Isaac received the Glendora Watkins memorial scholarship

I am a graduate of E.J. Lajeunesse High School. Since graduating, I have been attending the University of Waterloo pursuing a Honours degree in Chemical Engineering. I have interests in producing biomaterials and sustainable alternatives for plastic. I have been interested in this field since I was 15, and I have been able to further discover the possibilities that this career has. I am interested in developing biomaterials that can be used in the medical field, such as vaccine manufacturing and nanotechnology for medicine. I also am interested In developing polymers and materials that can replace plastic, which would be helpful in the war on climate change and making our way of life more sustainable.
