On his second journey with the BCIT Student Association, Geoff Gauthier takes enhancing the quality of student life seriously. As the Publications Manager running the Link newspaper in the early 2000's, Geoff had an amazing opportunity to work with closely with students, finding out what they need and what they think, and that experience shaped and defined his need to help them wherever he could. Fast forward a number of years and a new opportunity to lead the group responsible for delivering student life programming as the Director of Marketing and Communications was too wonderful to pass up. Geoff is curious and attentive. He's listening to his students and adapting to their needs and he's making the necessary changes to provide them with best experience possible. ---------- Sam Demma is a best-selling author and one of the most in-demand keynote speakers in the Education and Association sectors.
