Talk
to a
recruiter
Claire Clark is the recruitment-admission liaison for Human and Social Development at UVic.
"I’m a runner, hiker and adventure seeking explorer of everything that is Vancouver Island. It was my co-op experience at UVic that helped me discover what I was truly passionate about - community and ecological connectedness.
My UVic is collaborative, socially responsible and rich with outdoor activities. As a student, I took advantage of everything UVic had to offer. I ran for the varsity cross-country and track teams, joined clubs, volunteered everywhere I could and experienced hidden secrets and gems like Mystic Vale, a beautiful woodland oasis right here on campus - the perfect place to find serenity after a busy day. I look forward to meeting you and can’t wait to share my UVic experience."
