Rishma Johal (Cert Visual Arts ’15) had already completed her BA and MA before attending UFV, but was interested in adding to her skill set. Taking the extended studies certificate in Visual Arts helped her acquire the skills for working in media as a reporter for a major South Asian network. While at UFV, she worked as a research assistant at the South Asian Studies Institute. She also acted in The Land Beyond the Waves, a play about the Komagata Maru.
