Andrew Liutiev
Vice President of Technology
Hi my name is Andrew Liutiev and I am LazSoc's Vice President of Technology! I have been given the opportunity to lead an amazing team this year. We will be working together to innovate our digital platforms and create new ways engaging students especially during these times. If you have any ideas on how to improve student involvement across digital platforms shoot me a message!
As for advice, I got this from a mentor of mine but get involved and stay positive. You never know where your next opportunity is going to come from, so put yourself out there. "Many of us look back and will admit there was an element of chance, luck or simply being in the right place at the right time in landing opportunities. But you know what? Having a positive attitude will turn 'chance' into 'chances'. Positive attitudes draw people in, leave positive impressions and open doors you didn't know existed." - Casey Kretz. It's only a matter of time.
Please reach out if there is anything I can help you with :)

Michael Veloso
Software Developer
Hi my name is Michael Veloso and I am a software developer for LazSoc 2020/2021. My role is to help make our digital platforms easily accessible and well organized to ensure students have the best experience when looking into what LazSoc has to offer.
I am a 3rd year BBA/Computer Science student and I’m most interested in pursing a future career involving marketing and databases but that can honestly change at any moment. Thanks to the Co-op program at Laurier, I have experience as a Python Programmer/Business Analyst and if you would like to hear more on that please hit me up.
My advice for any incoming students is to try as many new things as you can. This is a time in your life meant for experiencing new things and finding out what you like (and don’t like) so don’t be afraid of failing, you got plenty of time.
If you have any questions about me, the program I am in or my experience with Laurier or Co-op, please feel free to message me.

We have many exciting projects planned for this year so stay tuned for more updates!
I am currently a 2nd year student in BBA and Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. My advice for incoming students is to work hard and be resilient. The biggest rewards don’t come easily and learning to deal with obstacles and failure is an essential part of growth. But don’t forget to have some fun while you’re at it!
If you have any suggestions, questions about my program, or just want to chat, please feel free to message me.

Bella Brodeur
Director of Corporate Outreach
Hi, my name is Bella Brodeur and I’m a second year BBA & Financial Math double degree student. As the Director of Corporate Outreach, I work alongside an amazing team to cultivate meaningful corporate relationships that create opportunities to foster student development and achievement.
The transition to remote learning has been a challenge—but it’s one we’ve embraced with emboldened creativity and inspiration! I’m looking forward to all the cool initiatives LazSoc devises to deliver to you that same renowned Laurier undergraduate experience.
My most valuable piece of advice is also the most cliché: get involved, step outside your comfort zone, seek opportunities that challenge you. University is a pivotal chance to grow and I encourage you to take risks and make friends—so at the very least, you won’t be pulling all-nighters alone.
Always happy to chat and answer any questions I can whether it’s about Laurier, being a don—which is what I do with the rest of my time, or the best coffee on campus 🙂
