Robert Totime“Coming to Sault Ste. Marie from my homeland Ghana, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I found out right away that the people here are very friendly, and they make it easy to get involved. Since coming here, I’ve been involved with AMSA, worked on campus in the library and student services, and was elected to the AUSU Board of Directors. I don’t think I would have had those same opportunities at a bigger school.”
