Welcome back!
From festivals to heatwaves, we hope you had a great summer. But it’s time to trade in swimsuits and iced coffees for long sleeves and pumpkin spice lattes. September means enjoying those last sweltering hot days while also embracing all the fun and festivities that come with the final few months of the year. Of course, it also means back to school!
JPD welcomes all of you back to your studies, and that means we’re also back with more articles and videos to help you on your journey. Look forward to more helpful advice, reflections, and research from our intrepid student writers as they share insights on schooling, careers, and all the major issues and decisions you’re facing. Here’s to the new school year!
Sincerely,
Anthony Teles, Vice-President
