Andriana Jewel Ozymtchak

Current Position 

I am a J.D. Candidate at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law and I will be graduating in 2024. While studying, I work as the Acting Editor of the Centre for Eastern European Democracy (CEED). CEED is dedicated to a single idea: promoting Western-European-style, liberal democracy in Eastern Europe. It's purpose is to help mobilize leaders who seek to build democratic institutions and implement democratic systems of government in the countries of Eastern Europe. 

Favourite Memories at UTM

I was an associate for the Political Science and Pre-Law Association in my first and second years at UTM. In my third year, I became an executive member of this student society where I served as the VP of Academics and worked closely with Political Science professors on campus. I also created a new club on campus with my fellow students called the UTM Cinema Studies Association, where I served as the VP during my second, third, and fourth year at UTM. In my final year of undergrad, I became the VP of the UTM Mooting & Law Association, as well as the President of the UTM Ukrainian Students' Club. I graduated from UTM with high distinction which was a huge accomplishment for me, and this recognition is something that I am very proud of.

Message from Andriana 

If I had any advice for students looking to become more involved on campus, I would recommend reaching out to the different clubs/societies that you are interested in. Whether that be through social media or attending their events. UTM has such a strong tight-knit community, it is very easy to reach out to your fellow students to get involved. They would be thrilled to have you join their team.
