What Lancers Are Saying

Benjie Roberto
The Faculty of Human Kinetics has a real sense of community and this allowed me to form strong connections with my fellow colleagues in the HK community. Individuals within this community were there to lend me a helping hand in times of adversity, and I will be there to return the favour. The program taught me the importance of team cohesion and forging relationships.
