Humans of Telfer – Ihsan


“Through my two years at Telfer, I have been able to meet so many amazing people, grown personally and professionally and got involved within the Telfer community!

Telfer has given me countless opportunities, one of the most impactful being working with AIESEC in Ottawa. Through being a part of this organization, I have been able to apply myself and learned so much more than I would have learned solely from class. I have been able to discover my potential and met some of my best friends. My current position as VP of Business to Customer has been the most rewarding learning opportunity of my university career.

If I could give any piece of advice to future Telfer students, it would be to seize every opportunity that comes your way! If you spend your 4 years at university only going to class, you'll never grow. Go to those networking events, join clubs, and meet new people; it'll be incredibly valuable in the long run”

– Ihsan Yousif, 2nd‑year International Management and
VP, Business to Customer, AIESEC, Ottawa
