Congratulations to Political Science graduate Hala Mair (BA ’25) who completed three co-op work terms at Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation and has now landed a full-time role with the organization following a carefully planned pathway of co-op and courses to support their career goals.

Hala was drawn to their field of study out of curiosity about how society functions and evolves.

“Coupled with my passion for advocacy, I saw Political Science as the program to develop this understanding and provide clarity as to where I can see myself tangibly making a difference through policy,” says Hala, who graduated with a Bachelor of Arts on Wednesday, June 11 during Brock University’s 117th Convocation.

Hala says this government experience, paired with their co-op work terms, “could not have been better intertwined” with their course-based learning.
