When Daniela Lombardo first considered coming from Mexico to Canada for university, she didn’t imagine that three years later she would be the school’s first Latina student to become TWU Student Association president. Lombardo is the current president of TWUSA.
In her second year at university, Lombardo became a resident assistant. The following year, she became involved in student government, advocating for cultural groups and fostering greater connection among schools and faculties. One of her initiatives was the creation of an interdisciplinary newsletter.
