Courage to advocate and a heart for community: graduating students leave their mark

Graduating students Megan Liu, Kelly Cao and Kira Cheung (BCom ’22), and University of Toronto Student Leadership Award (UTSLA) winners, are not afraid to advocate for change. Their courage to identify and address gaps within the RC community is leading us to continual transformation and to a brighter future.

Turning ideas to innovation  

For as long as she could remember, Megan Liu (BCom ’22) dreamed of founding her own venture. During the pandemic, she recognized the stress on small businesses and the growing concerns of mental health. This led her to introduce Initio and MindfulU, both recipients of the UofT Covid-19 Student Engagement Award. Initio focuses on showcasing small business innovations, while MindfulU aims to expand mental health awareness to university students. Despite the initial doubts, Megan gained confidence to act on her strengths and new ideas.     

Within the Rotman Commerce Student Association (RCSA), Kira Cheung (BCom ’22) successfully expanded the Treasurer role to provide international students with financial support during the pandemic. By actively leading the Finance committee, Kira launched the RCSA International Students’ Scholarship—the first scholarship at RC developed by students.
