Convergence is a nonprofit that aims to help high school students discover their passion by connecting them with community members.

They are organizing a new community event, the University Experience Panel, aimed at simplifying post-secondary programs for students in Grades 11 and 12. They are currently looking to recruit post-secondary students in the Faculty of Science. Panel members who are selected will participate in a virtual event in late January or February 2022 during after-school hours (after 3 PM). Panellists will be asked to share aspects of their post-secondary program and engage in group discussions during this event.
