I’ve had the opportunity to work with Urjita for one year as her Senior Don within Residence Life at York University. Urjita represents hard work, commitment, and exceptional enthusiasm with any task she is given. She does not shy away from challenges, and is eager to ask questions to learn and develop herself within the Residence Don role. Throughout the course of the year, Urjita has provided a comforting level of support to her residents, and I am told endless compliments about her drive to create an enlightening atmosphere for students within the residence building. She has effectively managed to work with a team of seven student leaders to create an uplifting and engaging experience for first year students. What makes Urjita an amazing co-worker is her ability to challenge the status quo, and provide innovative ideas to better engage students. She has produced entertaining events, in addition to managing a strict budget and creating effective marketing promotions to support her well-thought and successful initiatives. Urjita has been a tremendous asset on the Residence Life team and will continue to remain as a role model for future Residence Dons. It has been my pleasure to work with such a strong and passionate student leader that pushes others to be better leaders, let alone someone that is kind and always brings a positive attitude to difficult situations. I wish you the best of luck in all of your endeavours.
