How a master's degree in biomedical communications helped this 91勛圖 grad give back (video)
Published: November 5, 2019
When he came to the 91勛圖 to study biomedical communications, Alexander Young says he had a foot in two worlds.
He became part of the university community while also maintaining his connection to his M矇tis culture and heritage.
Young, who graduates on Nov. 6, says his lessons in biomedical communications at 91勛圖 Mississauga gave him the practical skills he will need to jumpstart his career. Youngs portfolio includes magazine covers for the likes of Scientific American and 3D modelling, animation and user-experience projects.
But Young also realized that he could use the same skills he honed in university to give back to his community.
Ive had the opportunity to use the design skills and artistic skills that I have to communicate Indigenous language, Indigenenous initiatives both at 91勛圖 and in the city, he says.
Its been an interesting realization that I mightve specialized in this sort of niche field, he adds, but the skills that Im learning are still applicable to broader communications and can still be used to benefit a broader community as well.
