Guelph GradCast from U of G is a University of Guelph alumni podcast featuring real conversations with real grads. In each episode, we sit down to learn why they chose U of G, their program, life on campus, career goals and, most importantly, what they’re up to now.
You’ll hear incredible stories from U of G grads as they share their experiences, advice for the future and what it’s really like to be a University of Guelph student.
But more importantly, you’ll learn whether the food at U of G really lives up to all the hype (spoiler: it does).
