Amber Lease
“Since I started at VIU I’ve had the opportunity to be a starter for the Women’s Basketball team, which was able to achieve 4 in Canada this past season. I am also the Chair of the Student Leadership Circle. Being so far away from my actual home, VIU has given me a sense of belonging and support. I am more than happy I made the decision to come to Vancouver Island University.”
