Black History Month 2025 with Faculty of Science student Dadiso Magadza
February is Black History Month in Canada, a time to reflect and honour the legacy and contributions of Black people and their communities. The theme this year is, “Black Legacy and Leadership: Celebrating Canadian History and Uplifting Future Generations.” At the Faculty of Science, we take the chance to celebrate the accomplishments of science students in this community and hear about their experiences, hoping to create understanding and opportunities to flourish.
This year, the Faculty of Science talked with Dadiso Magadza. An undergraduate student in chemistry who has successfully completed her co-op program with innovative companies such as Pollard Banknote and PTI Transformers where she gained invaluable skills and in her words, got to see what the real world looks like.
As she is nearing her graduation, she hopes the University improves students’ access to information critical to their programs and higher education journey. She hopes future students in science believe in themselves, use all the resources they have and seek help from their peers and professors.
