When Aravind Manilal Valliyate started his BSc in Kinesiology and Health Studies, he says he was unaware of all the opportunities that awaited him. 

“Initially, I had no idea what was going on here because I came from a different country,” he says.  

An international student from India, Valliyate did not take long to get involved.
