Student Spotlight

Daniella Clancy - Vice President of Student Affairs (VPSA) for King’s University College Students’ Council (KUCSC)

 

“Every one of us has a spark; we just need to find what ignites it within us,” says Daniella, fourth-year honours double major in Sociology and Criminology.

 

She saw King’s as an environment where she could create close relationships with professors, faculty, staff and peers. As the VPSA of KUCSC, she has the opportunity to give back to the community by providing support to her peers through wellness initiatives, workshops and events.

 

Daniella encourages students “to become the best version of what you can be. Sign up for new clubs, enroll in classes that challenge you, and volunteer for different events on campus. You never know how it may change your life. I know the choices I have made here have changed mine.”
