This is a quick bio from the Undergraduate Semester in Dialogue at SFU page. My good friend and student collegue Pavel Marchenko wrote this. Thanks Pavel!
Joni Morris, a gem of a student, whose multitude of interests and experiences make her shine in and out of the class. Growing up in Revelstoke, Joni’s keen sense of inquiry led to her participate in Encounters With Canada, where she learned about Canadian institutions, further developed her leadership skills, and met accomplished Canadians. When it came to choosing a university, Joni decided on SFU and enrolled in communications. Her active role at our university involves participation in various clubs, such as the SFU NDP club and Free the Children SFU, on top of working as a community advisor. Recently, Joni went on an exchange to Australia where she caught the travel bug which she hopes to cure with much more travel. Joni’s interest in dialogue goes far back to when she participated in various summer camps which left a long lasting appreciation for how much of an effect dialogue can have on people. And although she has great plans to change the world, Joni says she will not forget small enjoyments, like Tim Tams cookies – which happen to be her favorite.
