Meet our new Student Engagement Officer, Emily Speidel! As a KIN alum who graduated in 2018, Emily is deeply familiar with life as a KIN student and has a passion for student development outside of the classroom with a focus on supporting students through transitions. Emily has a strong background in student affairs and has experience creating meaningful growth and learning opportunities for students. Emily most recently served as an undergraduate Associate Academic Advisor in the School and brings a unique lens to the needs and desires of Kinesiology undergraduate students.
As the Student Engagement Officer, Emily has been instrumental in training this year’s KIN student Orientation Leaders and looks forward to meeting all new-to-KIN students on Imagine Day! If you’re looking to get involved with UBC KIN or at UBC in general, Emily is here to help!
Emily states, “I am excited to get to know you all over the year and to engage you in all the upcoming student events the School will be hosting. My passions lie in relationship building and developing supports for students, so please don’t hesitate to approach me with your ideas and questions, or just to say hi!” Keep an eye on the KINformed newsletter for regular updates on events and programs, and check the KIN web calendar here for details.
